How did the first forty years of H. G. Wells's life shape the father of science fiction? 
 
 
 
From his impoverished childhood in a working-class English family and determination to educate himself at any cost to his complicated marriages, love affair with socialism, and the serious ill health that dominated his twenties and thirties, H.
