Best Answer

Although Jules Verne was not absolutely the earliest writer to make scientific speculation the theme of his writing, since Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is earlier, he did produce many more novels, with many more scientific speculations than Shelley did, and he played a greater role in making Science Fiction into a new genre of fiction. He was a thoughtful writer whose scientific speculations were based on real scientific knowledge.
