Books by H. G. Wells mentioned on podcasts
H. G. Wells and his classic science fiction contributions were discussed across multiple podcast platforms. On SmartLess in November 2022, during an advertisement segment for Audible, Sean discussed revisiting foundational literature and specifically highlighted classic works by H. G. Wells, including The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, and The Island of Dr. Moreau. On Timcast IRL in December 2020, Tim humorously referenced the plot of The War of the Worlds while discussing vaccines and COVID-19, noting how the invading aliens in the story were ultimately defeated by ordinary terrestrial illnesses to which humans had built natural immunity. On The Joe Rogan Experience in January 2019, Joe Rogan briefly mentioned H.G. Wells's time machine concept while discussing early scientific predictions and inventions. Stuart Russell discussed Wells on the Lex Fridman Podcast in December 2018, noting that the author wrote a science fiction book predicting powerful explosives around the same era that Nobel Prize winner Frederick Soddy discovered isotopes and lectured on atomic energy equivalents. Finally, Zoltan Istvan referenced H.G. Wells and The Island of Dr. Moreau on The Rubin Report in October 2016 to describe the controversial, extreme nature of modern genetic editing and human physical alterations.
