The Invisible Man is a 1897 science fiction novel by H. G. Wells. It tells the story of Griffin; a scientist who has devoted himself to research into optics and invents a way to make himself invisible by making it so his body reflects no light. He is successful in carrying this out on himself but cannot reverse it. The Invisible Man was a big influence on sci-fi writers, but H. G. Wells also took inspiration to create the book. Bab Ballads by W.S. Gilbert includes the rhyme: 'Old Peter vanished like a shot - but then - his suit of clothes did not.' He was also influenced by Plato's Republic which, in the legend of the Ring of Gyges, says that if a man were made invisible and could act with impunity, he would 'go about among men with the powers of a god'.

The Invisible Man is an 1897 science fiction novella by H.G. Wells. Wells' novel was originally serialised in Pearson's Magazine in 1897, and published as a novel the same year. The Invisible Man of the title is Griffin, a scientist who theorises that if a person's refractive index is changed to exactly that of air and his body does not absorb or reflect light, then he will be invisible. He successfully carries out this procedure on himself, but cannot become visible again, becoming mentally unstable as a result.

The Invisible Man stands out as possessing one of the most complicated heroes, or perhaps anti-heroes, in literature. A thoroughly unlikeable character, the Invisible Man is defined by his arrogance, impulsiveness, rudeness, and, at times, violence. He is, however, a man of great genius; but, his genius is selfish—no one profits from his experiments, not even himself. The Invisible Man is not only a commentary on imagination and the great spirit of invention that elevated the nineteenth century but also a warning against the eugenic and self-interested policies that threatened the twentieth. This edition includes a valuable collection of the nineteenth-century narratives of invisibility that inspired Wells’s novel, as well as excerpts of Wells’s nonfiction writings on education and class. Additional appendices situate the novel in its late-Victorian scientific and technological contexts, including material on radio waves and x-rays.
