H.G. Wells

The H.G. Wells classic that helped launch the time travel genre.
The Time Traveller, a dreamer obsessed with traveling through time, builds himself a time machine and, much to his surprise, travels over 800,000 years into the future. He lands in the year 802701: the world has been transformed by a society living in apparent harmony and bliss, but as the Traveler stays in the future he discovers a hidden barbaric and depraved subterranean class.
The Time Machine inspired the international bestseller The Map of Time by Félix J. Palma. As a gift to our readers, we are including the first three chapters of The Map of Time in this ebook edition.
Wells' exploration of time travel and its philosophical implications aligns perfectly with my interest in the intersection of science and ethics. The narrative's intricate blend of scientific speculation and social commentary resonates with my engineering background, providing a nuanced perspective on the consequences of technological advancement.
