The Time Machine
About this book
The Time Machine is the novel that gave us the concept of—and even the word for—a "time machine." While it's not Wells' first story involving time travel, it is the one that most fully fleshes out the concept of a device that can send a person backwards and forwards in time with complete precision. Time machines have since become a staple of the science fiction and fantasy genres, making The Time Machine one of the most deeply influential science fiction novels of the era. H. G. Wells (died 1946) was an influential writer of the modernist period. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. The early science fiction genre, pioneered by visionaries like H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, laid the groundwork for one of literature's most enduring and imaginative forms. The Time Machine stands as an early example of speculative fiction grappling with the promises and perils of science and technology.
