H G Wells , Herbert George Wells, an English writer, he was renowned for his works of science fiction especially 'The Time Machine'. He is also referred as 'The Father of Science Fiction' "Prophecy may vary between being an intellectual amusement and a serious occupation; serious not only in its intentions, but in its consequences," H.G. Wells wrote in 1916. "For it is the lot of prophets who frighten or disappoint to be stoned. But for some of us moderns, who have been touched with the spirit of science, prophesying is almost a habit of mind. ... The scientific training develops the idea that whatever is going to happen is really here now - if only one could see it. And when one is taken by surprise the tendency is not to say with the untrained man, 'Now, who'd ha' thought it?' but 'Now, what was it we overlooked?'"
