威尔斯被称为20世纪初科幻文学的双星之一，他是继凡尔纳之后最杰出的科幻作家。《时间机器》《隐身人》《星球大战》是威尔斯科幻小说中最经典的三部作品，由中国社科院外文所教授领衔翻译，此译本是目前国内最权威、最科学的。他的作品想象丰富，故事紧张，情节离奇，作者抒发幻想，影射现实，用象征或寓示的方式暗示人类社会。作品既有娱乐作用，又有讽喻意义。

《隐身人》讲述了一位天才科学家把自己变为隐身人后与人类为敌的故事。(Wells was regarded as one of the two stars of science fiction literature in the early 20th century, and he is the most outstanding science fiction writer following Jules Verne. Time Machine, Invisible Man and Star Wars are the three typical works of Wells, and are translated under the leadership of professors in CASS Foreign Language Institute. This version is the most authoritative and scientific one up to now. His works, with rich imagination, narrative tension and strange plots, express the illusion, reflect the reality and reveal the human society in the form of symbolization and implication. These works not only achieve the recreation effect but also the allegorical effect.

The work Invisible Man tells a story about a genius scientist who turned himself into an invisible man as the enemy of human beings. )
