Critics Review
An old tale of scientific hubris that walks the line between comedy and horror
Wells was the founding father of science fiction, and in his utopian fantasy novels he was proved eerily correct. * Telegraph *

H.G. Wells
Herbert George Wells, the son of a shopkeeper and a lady’s maid, was born in Kent in 1866. A bookish child, his education was interrupted when he served a brief and gruelling apprenticeship to a draper. But Wells then went on to study biology under the great T. H. Huxley, before finding instant literary success in 1895 with the publication of his first ‘scientific romance’, The Time Machine. This was followed in quick succession by The Island of Dr Moreau, The Invisible Man and The War of the Worlds. Wells also wrote extensively on social issues, history and science. He died in 1946.
