George Chetwynd Griffith (1857-1906) was a prolific British science fiction writer and noted explorer, who gained recognition in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for his speculative and imaginative works. Born in Plymouth, Devon, Griffith set out as a correspondent and travel writer, traversing multiple continents, which imbued in him a sense of adventure that prominently reflected in his narratives. He is perhaps best known for his novel 'The World Peril of 1910', a futuristic tale that garnered attention for its prescient themes of global conflict and technological warfare, elements that would later realize themselves in the First World War. His literary style is characterized by a blend of adventure and scientific foresight, interwoven with elements of the extraordinary. During his career, Griffith captivated readers with his ability to intertwine contemporary scientific theories with thrilling plots, a testament to his vision and creativity. In addition to 'The World Peril of 1910', Griffith's oeuvre includes works such as 'The Angel of the Revolution', which presents a unique blend of aero-technology and socialist utopia, revealing a dynamic interaction with the sociopolitical currents of his time. Though his fame has somewhat faded, George Chetwynd Griffith's contributions to the genre of science fiction and his anticipatory narratives remain a significant part of the literary chronicle of speculative fiction.
