Features: Jules Verne (1828-1905) was a renowned French science fiction writer. He wrote eighty novels in his lifetime and published several popular science books. His stories were incredibly captivating, and in a sense, he was also a prophet who anticipated certain astonishing scientific discoveries half a century or even a century in advance through his works. Verne had two types of readers: teenagers and adults interested in science. His science fiction novels sparked great interest in the natural sciences, with some scientists even verifying the astronomical data in his books to check their accuracy. Even today, in the late 20th century, some scientific data still shows astonishing coincidences with what he predicted in his books. It can be said that this master of prophecy still keeps an eye on the development of modern science.
