H. G. Wells (Herbert George Wells) was an English novelist, journalist, historian, and social commentator, widely regarded as one of the founders of modern science fiction. Born on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, he overcame a modest upbringing through education, earning a scholarship to study biology under Thomas Henry Huxley.
Wells rose to international fame with groundbreaking novels including The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, The War of the Worlds, and The Island of Doctor Moreau. His imaginative stories explored themes of time travel, alien invasion, scientific ethics, and the future of humanity, influencing generations of writers and filmmakers.
Beyond fiction, Wells wrote extensively on politics, history, and social reform. An outspoken advocate for education, scientific progress, and international cooperation, he believed humanity could solve many of its greatest challenges through reason and innovation.
H. G. Wells died on August 13, 1946, in London. Today, he is remembered as one of the most influential authors of the twentieth century, often called the "father of science fiction" for his visionary storytelling and lasting impact on literature and popular culture.
