Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) was an English writer. He was prolific in many genres, writing dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, but he is now best remembered for his science fiction novels. "Tales of Space and Time" is a fantasy and science fiction collection of three short stories and two novellas, including "A Story of the Days To Come" — a novella which depicts two lovers in a dystopian future London of the 22nd century.
