Status Updates From The Great Science Fiction

time machine finished! had to read this for uni (planning to read the rest of the stories eventually) and it was good? hg wells locked the fuck in for the last 10 pages i was genuinely blown away with his vision of a millions of years old earth. filled me with a sense of dread for the future so that's always fun! but before then i was kind of disinterested. will expand more in big review but uhh probably a 6/10

Finished The Time Machine and found it way more interesting than the 1960 film I watched earlier this year. Was surprised how much of it was about capitalism, the Time Traveler suspects the Eloi are descended of the rich decadent class and the Morloks the underground workers. When he starts looking around the ruins of "Utopia" he mutters "Communism..." to himself. Literally looking at the ruins of capital lol
