Description

Genus Novo by H. G. Wells is a work of science fiction that serves as a thought-provoking parable for modern society. The novel follows the development of a species of biological entities known as the Morlocks, which inhabit an alternative version of Victorian England. These beings are capable of manipulating their environment in ways that allow them to survive and thrive despite being predators on their counterparts, the Eloi.

Author

H. G. Wells (1866–1946) was born in Bromley, trained in biology under Huxley, and turned that laboratory habit into fiction. The Time Machine sent a Victorian into deep time; The War of the Worlds brought the sky down on the Home Counties. He wrote as if the future were a social problem with monsters attached. The novels argue while they entertain. A draper's son who made scientific romance a public language.
