The Time MachineH. G. Wells's sobering, thought-provoking novel is one of the greatest works of science fiction ever created--and as powerful today as when it was written. After inventing a machine that moves through time, the Traveler leaves Victorian London and goes far, far into the future. At first, the world he discovers seems peaceful and prosperous. But as he looks below the surface he realizes that things are not exactly as they first appeared. |
