The Time Machine: Book Club Discussion Questions and Trivia

by Vicky Habel

The Time Machine was written by H.G. Wells. He and Jules Verne are considered to have invented the science fiction genre. H. G. Wells, though, uses his novels to relay his ideas about evolution, Marxism, and socialism. In the novel the protagonist is only known by the name “the Time Traveller” who has built a time machine and travels 800,000 years into the future. What he sees and learns is very unusual, to say the least.

This short E-Book is a guide for group discussions about the novel. Included are several questions for discussion, some background history into the beliefs of H.G. Wells, vocabulary words, a short, but fun quiz, and an author bio. Sometimes book group discussions get off track, and on occasion the discussion fades when there aren’t enough thought-provoking questions. This guide is designed to help everyone think by asking questions that have not been brought up before. This guide will help keep your book discussion lively and interesting. It will encourage people who are hesitant to speak up share their thoughts on the book. The goal is not only to have gotten the satisfaction of reading the book, but to love talking about it with your group members. Enjoy! Thank you for your interest.
