H. G. Wells yn 1943

Herbert George Wells (Bromley, Kent, 21 septimber 1866 - Londen, 13 augustus 1946) wie in Britsk skriuwer foaral bekend troch syn sciencefictionferhalen en -romans, benammen troch The War of the Worlds ('Oarloch fan de Wrâlden'), The Invisible Man ('De Unsichtbere Man') en The Time Machine ('De Tiidmasine'). In tige populêr skriuwer yn it Ingels taalgebiet wie er, ek fan populêr histoaryske boeken.

Wells en Jules Verne wurde wolris de heiten fan de sciëncefictionskriuwerij neamd.

Wells wie in útsprutsen foaroansteand sosjalist en pasifist dy't ek in soad op dat mêd publissearre hat.

The War of the Worlds waard fjirtich jier nei publikaasje nochris wrâldferneamd troch de grutte opskuor dy't de radioútstjoering fan it harkspul mei deselde namme joech, yn 1938, troch Orson Welles.

Dat The War of the Worlds ta de ferbylding sprekken bliuwt fan skriuwers, muzikanten en filmmakkers, die nochris bliken doe't Steven Spielberg der yn 2005 in wier Hollywood-rampespektakel op basearre.
