In H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine," an unnamed Victorian scientist invents a device that allows him to travel through time. He journeys to the distant future, where humanity has evolved into two distinct species: the Eloi, a gentle and passive race, and the Morlocks, a subterranean tribe that preys on the Eloi. As he navigates this strange new world, he grapples with the consequences of social class and evolution. The story explores themes of technology’s impact on society and the fragility of human civilization, ultimately questioning the direction of humanity’s future.
