A Dream of Armageddon

Herbert George Wells, better known  as H. G. Wells, was an English writer  best known for such science fiction novels as The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man and The Island of Doctor Mor- eau. He was a prolific  writer  of both fiction  and non-fiction,  and pro- duced works in many different genres, including  contemporary novels, history, and social commentary. He was also an outspoken socialist. His later works become increasingly political and didactic, and only his early science fiction  novels are widely  read today. Wells, along with  Hugo Gernsback and Jules Verne, is sometimes referred to as "The Father of Science Fiction".
