  <about><![CDATA[Herbert George Wells, better known as H. G. Wells, was an English writer most famous today for his science fiction novels The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man, The First Men in the Moon and The Island of Dr. Moreau. He was a prolific writer of both fiction and non-fiction, and produced works in many different genres, including contemporary novels, history, and social commentary. He was also an outspoken socialist. His later works become increasingly political and didactic, and only his early science fiction novels are widely read today. Wells and Jules Verne are each sometimes referred to as &quot;The Father of Science Fiction&quot;.]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>  <hometown>Bromley, Kent, England</hometown>  <born_at>09/21/1866</born_at>  <died_at>08/13/1946</died_at>
