The Time Machine and Other Works

H. G. Wells, 2017, Wordsworth Classics

Overview

In these 'scientific romances,' H. G. Wells uses the future and present to reflect on contemporary society, aiming to provoke thought rather than predict. 'The Sleeper' depicts a man awakening centuries later into a world of advanced technology, stark social divisions, and a ruling elite. The Time-Traveller journeys to the year 802,701, encountering humanity evolved into two distinct species and witnessing the eventual fate of the solar system. 'The Chronic Argonauts,' an earlier version of 'The Time Machine,' contrasts a scientist's bold theories with a superstitious community. All three narratives blend thrilling adventures with contemporary scientific ideas.
