H.+G.+Wells

Born on September 22nd 1866, H.G Wells (Herbert George Wells), was an instant success with his first published book titled "The Time Machine" "about an English scientist who develops a time travel machine." Full of adventure and fiction, readers caught onto the book quickly, causing Herbert's reputation to skyrocket. Herbert seemed to favor a science fiction genre in his books. Readings say that these themes "reoccurred" in some of his other popular works. The instant success of H.G wells first book must have been so famous that he decided to create more books with that same theme. The majority of H.G Wells books and story's have a hint of action in them. Other than "The Time Machine" another one of Herbert's famous works was the well known "War of the Worlds". H.G Wells' work effected society in a huge way. A famous radio segment in the 1920s had taken Herbert's story and produced a very predicted emergency radio broadcast. Wells' books had no intention to effect people in this way but because of his works, most people follow that famous rule, "garbage in garbage out". Herbert had continued to publish crazy science fiction novels that fused real world principals. Herbert uses Darwin's theory of evolution to create the "War of the Worlds" story. Aside from fiction, "In 1901, Wells published a non-fiction book called //Anticipations//. This collection of predictions has proved to be remarkably accurate". One can clarify that Herbert's works have changed many people and theories in Anticipations have been proven. H.G Wells keeps that scientific theme but changes his information about science in his books as he discovers new things.
