- H.G. Wells once wrote "My fantastic stories... do not pretend to deal with possible things. They aim indeed only at the same amount of conviction as one gets in a good gripping dream." But as generations of readers have known, H.G. Wells's gripping dreams are consummate science fiction - they are convincing and unforgettably real.
