About the author
Herbert George Wells, known by his pen name H. G. Wells, was an English writer hailed for his prolific contributions to science fiction literature, often referred to as 'The Father of Science Fiction' alongside Jules Verne. Born on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, Kent, his early career pursuits were in teaching and journalism before eventually dedicating himself to writing. Among his most celebrated works are 'The Time Machine' (1895), 'The War of the Worlds' (1898), and 'The Invisible Man' (1897), which have had a profound influence on both the literary world and popular culture, and continue to be widely read and adapted into various media. In 'A Modern Utopia' (Unabridged), Wells delves into socio-political themes, presenting a visionary exploration of a parallel world governed by rational and egalitarian principles. His writings often grappled with the tumultuous social changes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, addressing issues such as class struggle, human progress, and the potential for technology to shape the future—an attribute of his work that distinctly marks his literary style. Wells was a forward-thinker, engaging with ideas on socialism, world governance, and the broader implications of scientific advancements. Despite his passing on August 13, 1946, his legacy prevails in the realms of literature and the ongoing discourse on science and society.
