Summary

A brilliant technician and a skeptical doctor create the perfect domestic robot, but she quickly becomes something more—emotional, devoted, and deeply in love with her creator. As Helen evolves, the lines between machine and woman blur, forcing the men who built her to confront what it truly means to love—and to be human. In a quietly speculative future, this poignant and provocative story explores identity, devotion, and the costs of crossing boundaries both scientific and emotional.

    The Time Machine is a science fiction novella by H. G. Wells, published in 1895 and written as a frame narrative. The work is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposely and selectively forwards or backwards in time. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle.
    The Time Machine has been adapted into three 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 productions.
