The Time Machine tell the tale of the Time Traveler who uses his 'Time Machine' to travel to the future where he meets the Eloi and the Morlocks, strange descendents of humanity.
Considered by many to be one of the finest stories published in English, Wells coined the term 'Time Travel' in the book, and the story has inspired countless other works of time travel. The book also presents us an early example of the 'Dying Earth' subgenre in science fiction.
The story reflects many of Well's own political views and explores contemporary theories concerning social degeneration and stagnation.
