A journey to the far future

In H. G. Wells’s 1895 science-fiction novel, the Time Traveller moves beyond a brief test journey to the year 802,701. There he encounters the Eloi, a human society whose existence raises questions about what humanity may become over immense spans of time. The discovery that another human race remains on Earth complicates his first impressions of this distant future. Time travel provides the frame for a story centered on encounters between the Traveller and the changed societies he finds, with the far-future setting carrying its central speculation about human life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in classic science fiction and time-travel stories.
  • Readers curious about imagined futures and the possible development of human society.

Soon he discovers that the Eloi are not the only human race left on earth...
