H. G. Wells |

| The English writer, historian, and philosopher H.G. Wells questioned society’s chances for survival in a world in which technological advances outpaced intellectual development. Best remembered for his inventive stories of fantasy, technology, and the future, Wells created such a realistic description of a Martian invasion of England in War of the Worlds (1898) that Orson Welles’s radio version of the book caused an unintended panic among a credulous public in the United States. | ||||||
