H.G. Wells, born Herbert George Wells on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, Kent, was an English writer prolific in various genres, including novels, history, and social commentary, but is best remembered for his pioneering works in science fiction. Influencing the shape of sci-fi through his 'scientific romances', Wells ignited the genre with timeless classics such as 'The War of the Worlds', 'The Time Machine', and 'The Invisible Man', blending vivid imagination with insights into contemporary society and technological potential. A futurist and a socialist, his works often conveyed insightful critiques of his society and its institutions, reflecting a belief in the possibility of progress through knowledge and reason. In his political work 'The New World Order' (1940), Wells addresses the idea of a unified world without war, elucidated through a globalist perspective that advocated for collective security, economic interdependence, and legal frameworks to foster peace. As much a social prophet as a literary figure, his works are ensconced in academic discourse and continue to be studied for their intricate narrative structures and their ideological underpinnings. Wells was also a nominated member of the Nobel Prize in Literature four times between 1921 and 1935. He passed away on August 13, 1946, leaving behind a rich legacy that endures in the literary and speculative domains.
