Autorenporträt
H.G Wells is one of the founding fathers of Science Fiction who, along with Jules Verne, helped define what was then called 'scientific romance.' Born in Bromley, Kent in 1866, his most famous work is arguably The War of the Worlds, where Martian invaders lay waste to great swathes of Surrey. In his stories he predicted spacecraft, aircraft, nuclear power, tanks and something suspiciously like the internet. Many of his most famous works, like the Island of Dr Moreau, explore what man might be capable of - and what the consequences of our actions might be.
