The Time Machine by HG Wells.This book is the original sci-fi time-travel novel. It's about a Victorian English scientist in the late 1800s, an inventor who creates a time machine in his lab and he uses it to explore the future to see what might be in store for humanity and the earth.The time traveler crashed on a little lawn in the year 802701. He observed strange beautiful but derelict buildings, a white Sphinx, lush gardens and small innocent people called Eloi who act like children, carefree, but very afraid of the dark. He rescues a drowning Eloi named Weena who then becomes devoted to him. At night, he encounters the strange human-like creatures called Morlocks, a race of subterranean creatures. Because they live in darkness, they're all whites with greyish red eyes.What are these strange creatures? Why are the Eloi so indifferent to what surrounds them, even to the regular disappearances of some of them?The time traveler will unravel the threads of this mystery and elucidate the macabre truth behind this seemingly idyllic world.H.G. Wells' science fiction story The Time Machine is set in the future. The work is often credited for popularizing the notion of time travel, which involves traveling purposefully and deliberately ahead or backward in time using a vehicle or equipment.In this novella, H.G. Wells ponders the human condition and what the future may hold for humanity. It's remarkable that this novel was written so long ago but still has a contemporary feel to it.Time Machine is viewed in current times as a critique on the developing inequality and class divisions of Wells' day, as a work of future history and speculative evolution.This edition includes a biography of the author.
