Herbert George Wells, or "H.G. Wells" as he became known, was born on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, England, and died in London at the age of 79 on August 13, 1946. He was the son of a small shopkeeper. As a writer, Wells was extremely versatile and produced a vast literary content across many genres, including contemporary novels, history, politics, social commentary, but he stood out mainly with science fiction. He addressed various themes such as time travel, alien invasion, biological manipulation, total war, and invisibility, among others, which would later be followed by other authors of the genre. So much so that, along with Jules Verne, Wells is often referred to as "The Father of Science Fiction."
