Product Description:
This Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Classic of The Time Machine includes a glossary and reader's notes to help the modern reader contend with Wells' vision of the future.
As he approached the turn of the twentieth century, H.G. Wells explored the implications of the rising tide of Socialism and Darwin's theory of evolution to envision a future, 800,000 years from his own day, in which suffering, death, and human labor seem to have been replaced by beauty, peace, and innocent play. What Wells' unnamed Time Traveller ultimately comes to discover, however, are the horrific truths of a new Humanity, split and evolved into two separate races living in a false Paradise that actually fosters idiocy, weakness, and mortal terror.
Originally written in 1898, The Time Machine examines the age-old questions of humankind's ultimate destiny and the role we play in shaping it.

- THE GREATEST SCIENCE FICTION STORY OF ALL TIMEIn science fiction, the gimmick or gadget that gives rise to the science part of the science fiction is the heart of the story.
The more ingenious the gadget, the more far reaching the consequences of its use, the more appeal the story necessarily has.
It is in this way that ten years before Einsteinian relativity and forty years before quantum mechanics that this wonderful writer managed such a coup to create a science fiction story that was so factual in its understanding ... Read More
