Classic works of speculative fiction from the earliest masters of the
genre. Classic Science Fiction includes nine stories from masters of early
science fiction: H. G. Wells, Jules Verne, H. P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allen
Poe, Jack London, Fitz James O’Brien, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and Stanley
G. Weinbaum. The exploration of new concepts and technologies has driven
the genre since its earliest days, and these works demonstrate how science
fiction evolved to encompass not only speculative science but also
humanity’s role in the universe.
