luna65 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 A man who could surely be said to be our preeminent futurist – in that his fictional creations were explorations of future realms often prescient in their portrayals – was the English novelist H.G. Wells. Often referred to as “the father of Science Fiction,” he approached his writing from a distinctly scientific and socialist viewpoint, which is evident in such works as The Island of Dr. Moreau, The War of the Worlds, and The Time Machine. The latter novel is one of the very first portrayals of time travel, and a classic devising of Wells’ philosophy combined with his quest for plausible depictions of potential technology. We constructed our very own tribute to the novel with a journey both back in time and to those native regions which surely inspired the author in his imaginative names!
