The time machine

by H. G. Wells

Overview

The Time Machine is a science fiction novella by H. G. Wells, published in 1895. Wells is generally credited with the popularisation of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to such a vehicle. This work is an early example of the Dying Earth subgenre.

The Time Machine has since been adapted into two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It has also indirectly inspired many more works of fiction in many media.

About the Author

H. G. Wells was one of the most important and productive writers of the 20th century.

He continued to write fantastic fiction throughout his career, with a particular focus on utopian fiction in the early 20th century. He also wrote a number of realist novels.
