The Time Machine

by H. G. Wells

Overview

When I was a young man, I used to go to the movies on Saturday afternoons and watch the latest sci-fi double – and sometimes – triple features. I am dating myself.

One of movies that impressed me the most and took me to fantastic places I had never imagined before was the 1960 release of the film based on H.G. Wells classic, the Time Machine starring Rod Tayor.

For years after seeing the film I relived each scene and then finally bought a copy of the paperback classic and devoured it again and again.

H.G. Wells was a genius visionary, who was able to see into the future of humankind in so many ways that cannot be equaled – even today.

I recently reread this classic again and was mesmerized and inspired as I came away with even new revelations from the mind of this prophet and master of speculative – or science fiction – as most people call it today.

Please read it for the first or the one hundredth time and prepare to look into our possible future.

About the Author

H.G. Wells (1866–1946), born Herbert George Wells, was an English author known for not only his popular science fiction books but also works of social commentary, history and biography. His first novel, The Time Machine, was published in 1895. Socially progressive and visionary in intellect, H.G. Wells became one of the most prolific writers of his generation. Through books like The Invisible Man, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and War of the Worlds, Wells delved into a plethora of social, philosophical and political ideas through the medium of what we now call science fiction.
