H. G. Wells was born on September 21, 1866 in Bromley, Kent. An English novelist, journalist, sociologist, and historian, famous for his works of science fiction, his best known books are The Time Machine (1895), The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898).
As a novelist, Wells made his debut with The Time Machine, a parody of English class division and a satirical warning that human progress is not inevitable. His last book, Mind At The End of Its Tether (1945), expressed pessimism about mankind's future prospects. Wells died in London on August 13, 1946.
