HG Wells Biographical notes by Blake Wilfong. British author Herbert George Wells (18661946) was perhaps the true father of science fiction .
http://wondersmith.com/scifi/wells.htm

Extractions: Biographical notes by Blake Wilfong "The past is but the beginning of a beginning, and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn." British author Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) was perhaps the true "father of science fiction". Everyone knows of his early SF novels The Time Machine The Island of Doctor Moreau The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898). But unlike Jules Verne before him, Wells also crafted many superb short science fiction storiesforeshadowing the form the genre would take in pulp magazines decades later. And the vitality and unrestrained imagination of Wells' writings makes them more readable today than Verne's. Wells was born in Bromley, Kent, to lower-middle-class parents. Despite grave financial difficulties and a poor early education, Wells earned a Bachelor of Science degree, with honors, in zoology and geology from the University of London in 1890. This scientific background would prove invaluable to his writing, though he was already producing science fiction as he worked toward his degree. In 1888, he published The Chronic Argonauts (an early draft of The Time Machine ) in the Science Schools Journal Wells also went on to write many historical volumes, literary novels and scientific texts, all of which he considered more important than his science fiction. Ironically, they are virtually forgotten today.

Extractions: Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) H. G. Wells war einer der Mitbegründer und herausragenden Vertreter der Science-Fiction innerhalb der englischen Literatur. In seinen naturwissenschaftlich- phantastischen Romanen schilderte er prophetisch den Triumph der Technik, aber auch die Schrecken der Kriegstechnologie des 20. Jahrhunderts. Bereits sein erster Roman, "Die Zeitmaschine" (1895), wurde ein überwältigender Erfolg. In ihm kombinierte er gekonnt naturwissenschaftliches Wissen, Elemente des Abenteuerromans, politische Reflexionen und Motive einer technifizierten phantastischen Literatur, die er um das der Zeitreise erweiterte. Es folgten mehrere wissenschaftlich fundierte Zukunftsromane, mit denen er das Genre der modernen Science-Fiction begründete. Später schrieb er auch einige humoristische Romane über das englische Kleinbürgertum. Er betätigte sich jedoch nicht nur literarisch: Als Mitglied der Fabian Society und zeitweiliger Präsident des PEN-Clubs bekämpfte er die Missstände des Wirtschaftsliberalismus und trat für soziale Gesellschaftsreformen ein. Durch die Erfahrung des II. Weltkrieges war aus dem idealistischen Vorkämpfer für eine bessere Welt ein melancholischer Pessimist geworden. Besonders deutlich tritt dies in "Mind at the End of its Tether" (1945, "Der Geist am Ende seiner Möglichkeiten") hervor. Wells starb am 13. August 1946 in London.

"Human history," he said,"is in essence a history of ideas His War of the Worlds (1898), about a Martian invasion of earth, created a sensation when it was first published and a frenzy in 1938 when Orson Welles adapted the novel for radio.

http://www.applebookshop.co.uk/author/wells.htm

Extractions: H. G. Wells was torn between 2 visions...one of salvation and one of doom. He was so obsessed with the future he invented a time machine to take him there. Writing at the end of the 19th century he pioneered a new kind of fiction, science fiction. He forecast the 20th century so vividly and accurately he became known as "The Man Who Invented Tomorrow". He saw super highways, overcrowded cities, computers, video cassette players to see novels come to life, televisions to tell the news, tanks used in wars, military use of aeroplanes, and bombing of cities. In 1911 he forecast a new type of weapon, an atomic weapon, the atomic bomb. He saw them out of control. He saw the bombs made of uranium and would destroy cities. He said that if humanity did not change it would destroy itself. His final vision in 1933 was of an apocalyptic world war. This would be the end of humanity of all of the cities. He prophesied a new consciousness would emerge spear headed by a visionary elite that would take control of the weapons of war and create a world state. They could pacify and lead the people to a new world. By the middle of the 21st century he envisioned a peaceful world liberated from old hatreds and adorned with scientific marvels.

Extractions: Science fiction: H.G. Wells and other modern writers Some of the best-known examples come from the late Victorian writer H.G. Wells (1866-1946), including The Time Machine (1895), an almost comic pseudo-scientific story that encompasses time travel, aliens and the entropic death of the world, and The War of the Worlds (1898), the most imitated treatment of how we would respond to invasion by beings from outer space, in this case hostile aliens from Mars. A 1938 radio adaptation of this latter work by the great American actor/director Orson Welles revealed the extent to which the fear of alien beings is entrenched in the public mind. Welles was under contract with CBS to provide a weekly radio broadcast of adaptations of well-known classics, featuring his theatre group The Mercury Theatre on the Air. Tiring of conventional works such as Treasure Island and Julius Caesar , Welles decided to try something different by broadcasting live The War of the Worlds Appendix 1 ). This incident remains the largest scale sociological experiment ever held, unintentionally of course, and reveals the depth to which we fear contact with extraterrestrials. We seem to naturally anticipate that they would be stronger, wiser, and more sophisticated than we are, but we are unsure whether they would be benevolent or malevolent in their intentions. Perhaps this is a leftover from the superstitious fear our ancestors had for their mythical gods, who were invariably cruel and vengeful; even the Christian God of the Old Testament is spiteful in dealing with his own creatures.

http://www.gradesaver.com/ClassicNotes/Authors/about_hg_wells.html

Extractions: Alongside Frenchman Jules Verne, Herbert George (H.G.) Wells is known as one of the founding literary fathers of science-fictiona label he always resisted. Instead, he called his works "scientific romances," stressing their concrete humanity and de-emphasizing the abstract ideas at play. A prolific and political journalist as well, the outspoken, larger-than-life figure is still best known for a string of books written at the beginning of his career that all toy with ideas of humanity gone scientifically and fantastically awry. Wells was born into British poverty on Sept. 21, 1866, and he was not shy about glorifying his lower-class beginnings. He later won a scholarship to what is now the elite Royal College of Science, where he studied under T.H. Huxley, the esteemed Darwinist. His early exposure to poverty, however, would mark him for the rest of his days; nearly a lifelong Socialist, Wells believed modern civilization, with its profound capitalist class divisions, was doomed, and that Communist ideals were the remedy. Not coincidentally, Wells's first novel, "The Time Machine" (1895), was written to relieve his poverty and serves as a harsh critique of capitalism. In it, a man travels to the future and finds a nightmarish dystopia in which two distinct species have evolved from the ruling and working classes. The novel struck a chord with Victorian England, a heavily industrialized country of Haves and Have-Nots, and became a success. Wells followed "The Time Machine" with "The Island of Dr. Moreau" (1896), "The Invisible Man" (1897), and "The War Between the Worlds" (1898). All were hits and solidified Wells's place in the science-fiction canon; the description in the last of a Martian invasion of earth was so terrifying that when it was adapted as a radio play in 1938 by American Orson Welles as a "real" emergency broadcast, it sent thousands of listeners into a panic.

Extractions: I no longer despair for the human race." This quote from H.G wells tells you about his personality. Herbert George Wells was born in 1866 in Bromly, a small town near London. He attended college and graduated with a degree in biology. His lower-middle-class background and his knowledge of science influenced his writings. He thought that science would make a better world. He also thought that that humans would destroy their own race by having a big atomic war and eventually kill each other off. Some of the books Wells wrote were The Time Machine, The Invisible Man The War of the Worlds and The Island of Doctor Moreau . He was very famous in his lifetime, and his books sold well. His book War of the Worlds was a radio drama, performed on Halloween night in 1938. Many people tuned in after they said "This is only a story", so they thought that Martian aliens were attacking Earth. So people grabbed their rifles and jumped in their cars and took off. H.G. Wells died in his sleep on August 13, 1946. "Human history becomes more and more a race

But as the evening passed, their host failed to appear. Finally, at half past seven the guests agreed it was a pity to spoil a good dinner and seated themselves to a delicious meal. The main topic of their conversation was time travel, a subject their host had seriously argued as a valid theory during an earlier dinner. He had gone so far as to show them the model of a curious machine he had built, which, he declared, could travel through the fourth dimension - time. While the guests conversed, the door suddenly opened and in limped their host. He was in a state of disarray. His coat was dusty, dirty and smeared with green; his hair was markedly grayer than the last time they had seen him, his face pale, and his expression haggard and drawn as if by intense suffering. As he stumbled back through the door in tattered, bloodstained socks, he promised his guests that be would return shortly with an explanation for his actions and appearance. Soon after, the gentleman did reappear, and commenced with his remarkable story:
