'The Invisible Man' by H.G. Wells is about one man and how he uses science as a means to his own ends, without regard for those he harms. The Invisible Man was H.G. Wells’ fourth novel. It was followed by the equally well-known (albeit for slightly different reasons) The War of the Worlds.
‘The Invisible Man‘ is not Wells’ best-known novel, but it is one of those that helped solidify his reputation as the “father of science fiction.” The short novel follows Griffin, a destructive, selfish scientist who succeeds in his one goal—to turn himself invisible.
