About the book
"Wells envisioned a sky filled with airplanes before Orville Wright ever left the ground. He described the spectacle of space travel decades before men set foot on the moon. H.G. Wells was a visionary, a man of science with an enduring literary touch." "Ursula K. Le Guin's selection of twenty-six stories showcases Wells's genius and reintroduces readers to his singular talent for making the unbelievable seem utterly plausible. His originality and inventiveness are fully on display in this essential collection."--Jacket.
