Introduction To Boon - an Intriguing Novel Honest to goodness, when I picked up this book I didn't know what to expect from it except that I suspected the last segment would also be collected in short stories. But, unfortunately, it's neither fiction nor non-fiction, neither a novel nor a collection of stories. Despite its funny and debunking nature, like many of H G Wells' s books, I find it saddening to read his analysis of the human weakness, which his characters in so much of his work hope or assume will one day help them overcome so very much that is still unresolved today. During the 1920s, Wells dreamed of progress; if he were to return today, he would be saddened by our inability to achieve it. This is a book that you will either love or hate - in the end; I found that I loved it.

About The Author

Herbert Wells was born in Bromley, Kent, in 1866. The youngest of four siblings, he was affectionately called 'Bertie' by his family. Wells showed little literary interest early in life until he broke his leg in 1874. He was left to recuperate in bed, largely entertained by the library books his father regularly brought him. By consuming the new worlds he encountered in these books, Wells discovered he could escape the boredom and misery of his bed and convalescence.

From these humble beginnings, he began a career that would end up being one of the most brilliant English writers of the 20th century. Known for his science fiction works, such as The Time Machine and War of the Worlds, he also wrote classics such as Kipps that were almost as successful for their explorations of social conditions.

Many of his short stories bring new and incredible science fiction ideas to the edge of present-day science fact. Wells was also nominated for four Nobel Prizes in Literature. The complications of fathering other children resulted from his affairs with other women, despite a solid and lasting second marriage.

With the rise of fascism and the promotion of socialism, he became increasingly skeptical of religion and opposed it. He wrote works about what the world might be like, such as A Modern Utopia, that is both thought-provoking and plausible, especially when viewed from the perspective of the distressing times in which they were written. Because of his diabetic condition, he founded the largest Diabetes charity in the UK. Despite his busy schedule, Wells managed to run twice for Parliament. In 1946, at 79, he died after a long, distinguished, and powerfully successful career.
