H. G. Wells

H.G. Wells (1866–1946) was an English novelist who helped to define modern science fiction. Wells came from humble beginnings with a working-class family. As a teen, he was a draper’s assistant before earning a scholarship to the Normal School of Science. It was there that he expanded his horizons learning different subjects like physics and biology. Wells spent his free time writing stories, which eventually led to his groundbreaking debut, The Time Machine. It was quickly followed by other successful works like The Island of Doctor Moreau and The War of the Worlds.

Reviews for Tales of Space and Time

[gbelik_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The short stories in this collection range from prehistoric times to the 22nd century and most are great reads. I loved Wells' take on the future, where we won't be reading books, just listening to phonographs; a miraculous road surface will be discovered which never needs repair, major streets will be up to 800 feet wide with lanes for each speed. But young couples will still need a chaperone along when courting.
