I have always had a fascination with science fiction and Jules Verne is the person who pioneered the genre. He talked about things such as air travel and underwater sea travel before it was even invented. He has a facebook page which is full of information about his life and adventures. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jules-Verne/12761150736097
Even though he is not with us anymore he does have quite an interesting facebook page. The picture on the front is one from Journey to the Center of the Earth and his page is full of facts about his life and his works. With 189 thousand likes he is definitely still a popular author today. That is the true love of Science Fiction, you are only limited by your imagination and you can take it as far as you want it to go.
I so love Jules Verne! He was the father of all of our gadgets. He saw our potential before we did. He has some amazing tales and they are almost mythic in their own right. He is like a contemporary Homer, writing the Iliads for our society. Amazing writer, you have good taste!
