The English writer H.G. Wells gained worldwide fame with science fiction novels and short stories, becoming one of the founders of the genre of fiction. At one time, his work amazed the imagination of his contemporaries and still continues to delight new generations of readers.Surprisingly, much of what Wells wrote about more than a hundred years ago has become a reality. Modern researchers of his work claim that the forecasts of the fantasist have come true by almost eighty percent. However, for Wells, it is not so much the technical innovations themselves that are important, as the impact on society. He was one of the first to foresee the social changes of the future: globalization, technocratic revolution, the boom in information technology development, as well as the consequences of these phenomena.
