[Human]: I like H.G. Wells' works and wonder if you could recommend any of them to me? [Assistant]: Sure! He wrote The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, and The Island of Dr. Moreau. Have you heard of any of those? [Human]: Yes, and I think War of the Worlds had another co-author and wonder if you can tell me who that was?
