He is the spiritual father of Science Fiction literatura in its adventurous, pioneering, positivist way. But remember, Back in the 1860s-70s people simply knew Scientific Romance. The genre would be developed further at the dawn of the XX Century , with H.G. Wells in Brittain, and Verne 's fellow countryman J.H. Rosny
I think Mary Shelley was the pioneer of the science fiction genre but Jules Vernes introduced the hard science side. I will soon make a video on H.G. Wells.
For some reason people tend to ignore Edgar Allan Poe, as strange it seems the father of modern Detective Thriller, and master of Gothic Horror, CONCEPTUALLY is powerful source of inspiration for many other writers, ptedating Verne and Wells decades before their "Scientific Romances" ...Poe wrote in the 1830s-40s about a Space Odissey/ Alien encounter ( The Unparalelled Adventure of Hans Pfaall), the Hollow Earth/ Lost World ( Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym), Cyborgs ( The Man That más Used Up), transatlantic Airship flight ( The Balloon Hoax), and even suggested Time travel / Dystopia ( Eureka, Mellonta Tauta). The funny thing is he may have read "Frankenstein " in his early teens, and he was fascinated by Science and innovations of the early Industrial Era, and yet he was a bit skeptical about progress. His "Science - Fantasy" stories might seem quirky looking to us almost two hundred years later , and he wrote them mostly as satirical - philosophical ( just like Cyrano de Bergerac, Voltaire, and Margaret Cavendish in the 17 and 18 centuries) rather than technically assertive. But while Mary Shelley' is remembered for Frankenstein, Poe exploited very often "Scientific Romance" , and in a variety of themes
Wonderful!
