I’m not much of a science fiction reader so this was a little difficult to get into. Quick story but not at all what I expected. Amazing to see what people thought the future would look like. H.G. Wells is one creative writer. ( )

The Time Traveler goes forward, 800,000 years into the future and recounts an odd world to a group of friends on his return. He tells them of two different branches of the human species, very opposed.
The book really hilights the wrongs of society today and promotes the Communist theory. It was very interesting and not boring. I love HG Wells War of the Worlds and this was just as action filled. Classic sci-fi. ( )

The Alien Voices Presents: The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
This version of the classic book is an audio play starring Leonard Nimoy and John de Lancie. Nimoy does a wonderful job with the narration as the time traveler. The music score and audio effects add to the drama. Faithful to the original book, this work is a great option for those who enjoy the audio format for books. ( )

This book is said to be part of the Victorian Era of Literature, and I agree, it has that same elegant style of writing, that becomes captivating, and pulls you into the story. What differs with Wells’ story is that it’s a Victorian style of writing with the added themes of Sci-Fi, making it a unique and wonderful read. This dystopian story, differs slightly then the others I have read, it is a less evident example of it then I have read in others, but as the Time Traveller comes to this futuristic land, you can see hints of this dystopian society, although how sure can the reader be, is this a misunderstanding by a arrogant time traveller, of the lives of these futuristic people, or do they really live in fear, in this seemingly utopic society, turned dystopic from two races striving to survive?

I also loved the sci-fi appeal to it. It has a lot of similarities to so many sci-fi shows, literature and stories we grow up with now. The story has so many parts and themes; I think most readers, no matter their tastes in genres, will have some aspect they could enjoy. Suspense, adventure, Victorian style of writing wrapped in a sci-fi backdrop.
