The Time Machine is an 1895 dystopian post-apocalyptic science fiction novella by H. G. Wells about a Victorian scientist known as the Time Traveller who travels approximately 802,701 years into the future. The work is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle or device to travel purposely and selectively forward or backward through time. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle or device.Utilizing a frame story set in then-present Victorian England, Wells' text focuses on a recount of the otherwise anonymous Time Traveller's journey into the far future. A work of future history and speculative evolution, The Time Machine is interpreted in modern times as a commentary on the increasing inequality and class divisions of Wells' era, which he projects as giving rise to two separate human species: the fair, childlike Eloi, and the savage, simian Morlocks, distant descendants of the contemporary upper and lower classes respectively. It is believed that Wells' depiction of the Eloi as a race living in plenitude and abandon was inspired by the utopic romance novel News from Nowhere (1890), though Wells' universe in the novel is notably more savage and brutal.

surprisingly captivating
I will be honest, I had no expectations for this one, however I have to say that I was quickly intrigued by H.G. Wells' Time Machine. The writing was fluent and what I liked the most, was that his protagonist remained unnamed. This creates a distance between the reader and character which makes it feel like one is reading a research diary. The story itself is short, yet gripping and follows the story of a scientist, who uses a time machine and then finds himself in another timeline. There he meets two types of creatures, the Eloi and the Morlocks one being friendly and the other ones vicious. After he realises that the time machine has disappeared he has to face his and the kinder species' greatest fear. I highly recommend the book if one wants to read into one of the first dystopian novels and I will for sure be reading more of Wells' work in the future.
