Yet Wells, often called the father of science fiction, produced an explosive array of ideas and inventions that are now staples of the genre and, in some case, everyday items—including time travel, lasers, invisibility, interplanetary war, wireless communications, and answering machines.

And get ready for Oct 30th, anniversary when Aliens landed in Grover's Mill NJ at corner of Cranbury Rd and Millstone Rd. Great book to share with your kids, hated the last movie by Tom Cruise

We're still working on invisibility, interplanetary war & time travel.
Wasn't a scene from that version of War of the Worlds shot in Cranbury? The one where after the Martians attack Hudson County, Cruise's character goes looking for his wife. They cruise down a street that looks like Cranbury Green.
Why Grover's Mill?
Did Orson Wells (any relation?) really just throw a dart at a map of N.J.?
Or did he have a girlfriend down here?
