Today is birthday of writer H.G. Wells,
born Herbert George Wells in Bromley, England (1866). Although
popularly known as one of the fathers of modern science fiction, having
published classics such as The Time Machine, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and The War of the Worlds
within the first few years of his writing career, Wells went on to
publish dozens of novels, story collections, and books of nonfiction,
most of which were not explicitly sci-fi. Most, however, dealt in some
way with Wells' interest in biology, his strong belief in socialism, or
his vision for the future of mankind. Indeed, much of what was fantastic
and fictional when he conceived it came to pass, like his predictions
that airplanes would someday be used to wage war and advanced
transportation would
lead to an explosion of suburbs.
