Herbert George Wells was born on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, England to a working-class family. His first novel, The Time Machine, was an instant success and Wells produced a series of science fiction novels which pioneered ideas of the future. His later work focused on satire and social criticism. Wells' socialist views are evident in his Outline of History; his writings forecasted the rise of major cities and suburbs, economic globalization, and aspects of future military conflicts. Wells died in 1946.
