Wells is an uncanny, special storyteller, judging from fantastical science stories that he's written. Remember how a radio station read out War of the Worlds and everyone thought it really happened? Tales of Space and Time is bursting at the spine with vivid descriptions of an different world, a love story set amidst a crumbling dystopia, and a burning star that threatens Earth's existence. Yes - some stories may seem dated in the current climate, but Wells' still manages to capture our fascination with all his ideas.
