I love that H. G. Wells was basically the origin of science fiction writers pausing their stories to infodump about alien biology or physics.

There's a section of The War of the Worlds where the journalist is stuck in a house with someone so Wells spends pages telling us about how cool and weird Martian biology is, and it's genuinely fascinating. Wells is possibly the father of speculative biology. His conception of the Martians came entirely from extrapolation from the then-novel theories of evolution and germ theory.

People often write off Wells's fiction as kind of boring and old hat, but it still reads really well.
