About this audiobook
“The Time Machine” by Herbert Wells is a cult science-fiction novel, first introduced in world literature the concept of time travel with mechanical device and forever changed the genre of chronophantastics. The genius London inventor, known as the Time Traveler, creates a device capable of moving through the fourth dimension. Going to the distant future – 802 701 years of our era – he expects to see the peak of human progress, science and culture. However, instead, the hero opens an unexpected and horrible world: mankind is divided into two ugly branches. On the surface live unrestful, but infantile and unhelpful Eloys, and in the dark underground catacombs are hidden the hostages, coming out to hunt under the roof of the night. Wells will create an exciting and at the same time warning story, penetrated by profound social and evolutionary reflections on the future of human civilization and the price of class division. ** About what the book in three words:** Future, Age, Evolution. **Who to read:** Lovers of classical science fiction and time travel, fans of antiutopia and socio-philosophical research, as well as everyone who wants to touch the origins of the genre.
