The Time Machine

Rate this book
The Time Machine is one of the most influential science fiction novels of all time. It is an adventure story documenting the Time Traveller's travel into the future by a machine constructed by him. Once there, he discovered that society, as he knows it, has fallen into ruins. All that is left are remnants of crumbling building and overgrown vegetation. He comes in contact with two species instead of modern humans. Much of the novel concerns the Time Traveller's horrifying discovery of this divided world. It gradually becomes apparent about the ultimate kind of society stratified by class, by those who have and those who do not. This book is a work of great imagination that can be read and appreciated by fans of both Science Fiction and Non-Science Fiction.

Every future gazing Sci-fi story explores or preconceives humanity to reach greater extents in development and exploration but in “The Time Machine” by H.G. WELLS our civilisation takes a rudimentary turn in the far future. “There is no intelligence where there is no change and no need of change”

A timeless HG Wells classic that made my Sunday.

Another sci-fi that speaks of how hard it is to retain humanity's footprint on the sands of time.

And how the oppression of society comes back in the most unexpected of forms to come bite back.

The time traveller's story, his theories and ideas of future are scary. Unlike other sci-fi stories, here humankind becomes primitive rather than becoming more advanced, finally leading to the decline of mankind.
This book is filled with great imagination and expresses concerns about the divisions of society in today's world.
