I prefer fiction that is entertaining, rather than preaching the author's vision of morality/politics.

I don't recall that in War of the Worlds!

HG Wells' politics are plain as day in his stories. He was a pacifist and social Darwinist. The defeat of the Martians by the common cold (after the failure of military action) is 100% on point for him.
It's pretty much impossible to have that. You'll always have the author's worldview shaping the fictional world.
