Herbert George Wells, more commonly known as H.G. Wells (1866–1946), was a prolific English writer in many genres, including the novel, history, politics, and social commentary, and textbooks and rules for war games. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is often called a “father of science fiction, ” along with Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback. “The Lord of the Dynamos, ” although lesser-known, reflects his fascination with the wonders and perils of technology, a theme Wells explored throughout his literary career. His most famous works include “The War of the Worlds, ” “The Time Machine, ” “The Invisible Man, ” and “The Island of Doctor Moreau.” These books have been heralded for their prescient visions of the future and their profound insight into human nature and society. Wells”s literary style often combined vivid imagination with a forceful advocacy for social change, which became a defining characteristic of his work. Through his writing, Wells entertained, questioned, and sought to shift the perspectives of his readers on the potential and dangers of scientific advancements and the social issues of his time.
