H. G. Wells
**H.G. Wells** (1866–1946) est un écrivain britannique, considéré comme l’un des pères fondateurs de la **science-fiction moderne**. Avec des œuvres comme *La Machine à explorer le temps*, *L’Homme invisible* ou *La Guerre des mondes*, il a révolutionné le genre en mêlant anticipation scientifique, réflexion sociale et narration captivante. Socialiste engagé, il a aussi écrit des essais et des romans réalistes, tout en imaginant des technologies qui préfigurent l’aviation, les voyages spatiaux ou même Internet. Son influence sur la littérature, le cinéma et la culture populaire reste immense.
