Herbert G. Wells
1866 - 1946
widely considered the father of science fiction, H.G. Wells' works are important political and social commentary of the 20th century.
H.G. Wells was an outspoken social reformer, whose works were influenced strongly by a scientific background. Jules Verne had a strong influence on him, and the genre of science fiction owes its visionary aspects to Wells.
He worked as a draper's apprentice, bookkeeper, tutor, and journalist until around 1895, which is when he became a full-time writer.
Wells supported World War One, but, by the Second, he saw no hope for a mankind continually warring.
