Meet the author
Hailed as a father of science fiction and a pioneering social thinker, H.G. Wells was a prolific writer whose visionary works shaped the intellectual landscape of the 20th century. Trained as a biologist under Thomas Huxley, Darwin's staunchest supporter, Wells possessed a unique scientific perspective on human progress and civilization. This deep understanding of evolution and history fueled his ambition to create a universally accessible account of humanity's shared story, resulting in his monumental and enduring work, A Short History of the World.
