Features: Wells and Verne had significant differences in their creative methods. Verne focused solely on the realization of science and technology, helping readers imagine the comical or tragic consequences that would follow. In contrast, Wells was concerned with the social impact of technological development, directly reflecting the contradictions and conflicts of social and political issues. This allowed for a broader scope, enabling the author's bold imagination to soar freely. He used fantastical imagery, bizarre characters, outlandish plots, and exaggerated techniques to expose the various flaws of the old world. This is precisely where the progressive significance of Wells' works lies. This book includes two science fiction novels by Wells: The Invisible Man and The War of the Worlds.
The Invisible Man: Griffin discovers a method for invisibility and transforms himself into an invisible being, but he cannot appear whenever he wants. During his further research, he is disrupted, and in a fit of rage, he reveals his true form. Enraged, he desperately seeks revenge but tragically loses his young life in the process.
The War of the Worlds: A unidentified flying object lands near London, and grotesque Martians emerge from it, beginning to kill indiscriminately with heat rays, poison gas, and rockets, threatening the survival of humanity, including the military. However, the Martians cannot resist the invasion of Earth's bacteria and are completely wiped out.
