About the author
H. G. Wells (1866–1946) was born Herbert George Wells in Bromley, England. Wells came from a working-class background. His father played professional cricket and ran a hardware store for a time. Wells’s parents were often worried about his poor health. At the age of seven, he had an accident that left him bedridden for several months. His first novel, The Time Machine, was an instant success and Wells produced a series of science fiction novels which pioneered our ideas of the future. His later work focused on satire and social criticism. Wells laid out his socialist views of human history in his Outline of History. He forecasted the rise of major cities and suburbs, economic globalization, and aspects of future military conflicts. Remarkably, considering his support for women and women’s rights, Wells did not predict the rise of women in the workplace.
