  The Time Machine is a groundbreaking science fiction novella by H. G. Wells that introduced the concept of time travel through a mechanical device. The story follows the unnamed Time Traveller as he ventures far into the future, arriving in the year 802,701. There he encounters the peaceful, childlike Eloi and the sinister, subterranean Morlocks, uncovering the disturbing future of humanity.A sharp critique of social class, industrialization, and the human condition, The Time Machine is both a thrilling adventure and a philosophical meditation on progress, decay, and the fate of civilization. Wells's vision remains hauntingly relevant to this day.
