OH dear can anyone spot the mistake?
War of the Worlds, which takes its name from an alien-invasion template developed by such science-fiction masters as H.G. Wells, Orson Welles and George Pal, is a story that has long courted the dark side of Spielberg, but only recently did he feel it was the right time to embrace it.

The mistake is that H.G. Wells is not a science fiction master; he wrote speculative fiction or scientific romances...
Oh and Orson Welles & George Pal weren't sci-fi folks either...

Then define SF. Wels invented the SF (now some real) notions of genetic engineering, the atom bomb, alien invasion, cloaking devices (LOL), time travel etc. |
