The Time Machine

About this book

Wells touches gently on time travel as a notion but mostly The Time Machine is about the terminal future he sees for mankind: His nameless time traveler ventures to the world that will be 802 701 A.D. And there he finds mankind divided among the Eloi and the Morlocks. The Eloi are a gentle winsome idle race who do not labor; the Morlocks in contrast are a barbaric race -- who use the Eloi for food. Its a grim vision and a gripping one. Theres a reason that The Time Machine has become a classic.
