Description

The Diamond Maker by H. G. Wells tells the story of a man who discovers a way to create diamonds artificially. The story explores the idea of what would happen if someone had the power to create diamonds, and how it would change the world economy. The story also raises questions about the value of diamonds and whether they are truly rare.

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.
