Who was Jules Verne?
Considered by some “The Father of Science Fiction”, in the 1800’s Jules Verne predicted many of the technologies that are reality today. Though Verne was not a scientist, he did have a passionate interest in it as well as a brilliant imagination. He was one of the few writers of his time that displayed the unique ability to extrapolate from the science of his time and envision ways in which that science might be used in the future as well as its probable impact on society.
