In literary circles, Jules Verne is hailed as the creator of science fiction, and “the man who invented the future,” for the imaginative worlds his novels inhabited and the extraordinary inventions his characters created. Over two decades before mankind invented the submarine, Verne imagined it in 20,000 Leagues under the Sea. A century before the first person ever set foot on the moon, Verne wrote From the Earth to the Moon, about a device capable of launching humans into space. With little to no data to draw from, Verne attempted to accurately calculate how these fantastic inventions would interact with the reality he inhabited, setting the stage for a nearly untouched literary genre—science fiction.
