now what about ancient science fiction i mean the true inventors of the genre?

these i read when i was a kid so no idea today but eh! not everyone has read them..

jules verne:
  • 20,000 leagues under the sea
  • from the earth to the moon
  • voyage to the center of the earth
  • (dont know the name in english) "l'ile mysterieuse"
  • around the world in 80 days (really you have to realize the train & the steamship & the suez canal were quite fantastic back in the day and the world used to be immense before cheap jet airfares)
he's got a ton others but not sure if michel strogoff qualifies as science fiction, ha ha, & these i recall best

h.g. wells
  • war of the worlds
  • the invisible man
  • the time machine
  • the island of dr. moreau
he's got a ton of other stuf i haven't read either. thought it was worth mentioning...
