The Time Machine
The Time Machine | Herbert George Wells
7 posts | 19 read | 3 to read
This innovative debut novel by British author H.G. Wells follows an unnamed scientist as he uses a time machine to travel from turn-of-the-century England into the far future. Instead of a world of gleaming technology, the explorer finds a primitive society populated by the fragile, human-like Eloi and the predatory, underground-dwelling Morlocks. Attempting to retrieve his stolen invention and return to his own time, the traveler encounters plenty of dangers and eventually glimpses more unsettling visions of dire future eras.

As always a delightful, quick read densely packed with science and fiction and social commentary and prophesy.

Now on to the original dystopian sci-fi novel, without which there would be no Planet of the Apes, Mad Max, The Hunger Games, or Divergent. This is non-debatable.

Well, I guess the "inspiration" for #steampunk is as close as I can get for today's prompt. #SeasonsReadings2016

Happy birthday to H.G. Wells (1866-1946)! Not only did he pull one of the biggest pranks in American history with his War of the Worlds radio program, but he is also a prime example of what science fiction can teach us about society and human nature. I devoured his books as a kid—he inspired many pretend time travel journeys. 📻⌛️👽
