Herbert George Wells was an English writer who pioneered science fiction with The Time Machine (1895), The Invisible Man (1897), The War of the Worlds (1898) and The First Men in the Moon (1901), imagining time travel, invasion and spaceflight decades ahead of reality. He was also a prolific social commentator whose Outline of History (1920) became a bestseller. Nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature four times, he is often called the father of science fiction.
