The Time Machine is a science fiction novella by H. G. Wells, published in 1895 and written as a frame narrative. One of the most renowned works of science fiction, The Time Machine reflects on the adventures of The Time Traveller-a man who constructs a machine which allows him to explore what the future has to offer. As he travels to as far as 802,701 AD, The Time Traveller encounters a world dominated by two types of creatures- beautiful and fragile Eloi and repulsive and brutal Morlocks. His journey then turns quickly from a series of observations into a dangerous quest to return back home, as he realizes that Morlocks have stolen his machine. A dystopian novel that fascinates the readers from the very beginning, The Time Machine both reflects Wells’s sceptical outlook on the future of the Late Victorian England and makes the reader meditate on the future of our civilization. Famous works of the author Herbert Wells: «The Time Machine», «The War of the Worlds», «The War in the Air», «The Island of Dr. Moreau», «The Complete Science Fiction Treasury of H.G. Wells», «The Invisible Man», «When the Sleeper Wakes», «The First Men in the Moon», «The Food of the Gods», «The Magic Shop».

"I told you so, you damned fools." H G Wells The father of Science Fiction predicted the events of the next century with almost 100% accuracy. In The Time Machine he depicted a dying world destroyed by humanity long before anyone realized climate change was becoming an urgent issue, making the famous story even more chillingly relevant today. Inventing the now-familiar concept of time travel, Wells sends his English scientist 802,701 years into the future where he encounters our own earth, now dying by inches, populated by the sweet but feckless Eloi and threatened from below by the malevolent Morlocks. Shakespearean actor Nigel Gore's powerful narration of The Time Machine is followed by an exclusive interview with John Kress, Distinguished Scientist and Curator Emeritus at the Smithsonian who talks with award-winning producer Alison Larkin about the alarming links between the future H G Wells imagined for humanity in 1895 and how climate change is affecting the world today.
