The man who invented tomorrow
|
I love science fiction, and I really enjoy the books were written by H G Wells. He was born in the middle of the 19th century, but he predicted modern society so accurately that he has been called by ‘the man who invented tomorrow’. I find it fascinating that he described super-highways, over-crowded cities and both television news broadcasts so long before they ever existed. I think he had quite an interesting life, too. His family, they were not well off, and his mother worked as a housekeeper at a large house. During when Wells was a child, he broke his leg and while he was recovering back he was allowed to read the books in the library. When he was left school, he became a shop assistant, and later a teacher, but he did always loved reading. He began to write books himself, and his first novel which was published in 1985. This was called ‘The Time Machine’, and was one of the first science fiction stories ever since written. It was about a scientist who built himself a time machine so that he could travel thousands of years into the future. I’ve read it several times, and I love it, but it must makes me wonder what it would really be like to travel there into the future. |
