Have you ever wondered about travelling to the future? Or have you thought about living in the future to know how different it is from the year we live in? I always thought about travelling to the future. The Time Machine by H. G. Wells chronicles the adventures of a Victorian Scientist who goes by the name ‘Time Traveller’ and thinks he has invented a device that can travel between the past and the future.
He explains the machine’s operation to his friends and explains his invention before making the announcement that he will use it to explore time. The following week, the men gather at a dinner party in expectation of the Time Traveller’s presence. The Time Traveller shows up late, looking filthy and exhausted, and begins to tell an amazing tale.
The Time Traveller describes his journey to the year 802,701 AD, where he encounters the Eloi, a race of beautiful and childlike people who, in contrast to the advanced society he had anticipated, appear to be weaker and less intelligent than ourselves. He is unable to interact with them to learn more about their way of life due to a language barrier, but he does develop some type of friendship with an Eloi woman by the name of Weena.
Eventually, the Time Traveller learns that there are other people who live in this futuristic world besides the Eloi; they are human-like creatures who live underground and only come to the surface at night. They are known as the Morlocks, and although they are vicious and brutish, they seem to be doing all the labour and industry that allow the Eloi to live simple, leisurely lives above the ground.
Also they take the time travel machine, which means that unless the Time Traveller can figure out a method to get it back, he might be stuck in the future for all eternity.
The narrator’s discoveries about the divided world are discussed throughout the novel. But the author’s creativity and genius are what truly amaze the readers. This book has incredible creativity and imagination. The story itself is enjoyable and fast-paced, and the explanations or descriptions are interesting. It will undoubtedly be equally fascinating for Science enthusiasts and readers of action thrillers.
