Imagine a world where time travel is possible, or a future where robots live among us. Sounds exciting, doesn't it? This is the world of a genre of books and movies called science fiction, created by brilliant minds. Let's meet some of the pioneers of this thrilling type of storytelling. H.G. Wells, known as the 'father of science fiction', wrote about time machines and alien invasions. His stories were full of wonder and danger. Isaac Asimov, another titan of the genre, introduced us to a future where robots obey laws designed to protect humans. Mary Shelley gave us Frankenstein, a tale of science gone wrong, while Jules Verne took us 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and journeyed to the Center of the Earth. Every story was an adventure beyond our wildest dreams. These authors came from different backgrounds and lived in different times, but they all shared a love for the unknown. They asked 'What if?' and weren't afraid to dream big. Who knows, you could be the next great science fiction author!
