The time? 802,701 A.D.
The place? An Earth stranger than you can imagine.
The people? A pretty, childlike race, the Eloi-and their distant cousins, the Morlocks: disgusting, hairy creatures who live in caves and feed on the flesh of-what?
Enter the Time Traveler, who has hurtled almost a million years into the future. After the Morlocks steal his machine, he may be trapped there forever...and at their mercy.
An unnamed time traveler sees the future of man (802701 A.D.) and then the inevitable future of the world. He tells his tale in details.
It goes without saying that this book is a science fiction classic in every sense of the word and that H.G. Wells was a founding father of the genre.
The Time Machine was first published in 1895 and later directly adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It indirectly inspired many more works of fiction in all media.
This novella is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively.
The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to such a vehicle. Wells introduces an early example of the Dying Earth subgenre as well.
The story was first published in serial form in the New Review through 1894 and 1895. The book is based on the Block Theory of the Universe, which is a notion that time is a fourth space dimension.
The whole book seems to be a warning against scientific omniscience and communal living.
The future human society that the Time Traveler finds is supposedly ideal--free of disease, wars, discrimination, intensive labor, poverty, etc.
However, the great works of man have been lost--architectural, scientific, philosophical, literary, etc.--and human beings have basically become children, each one dressing, looking, and acting the same.
