Summary

Summary

At a dinner party in Richmond, the host tells an astonishing story of his travels into the future.

At first it seems that man has moved on to a higher plane of existence—suffering and war seem to have been eliminated. But in fact there are two races living on the Earth—the Eloi, a leisured, decadent, androgynous group; and the Morlocks, an underground tribe of bestial workers. When his time machine is stolen, the traveler is stranded in this strange new world and discovers that the truth is far darker than he could imagine.

One of the greatest science fiction stories ever written, The Time Machine is an adventure story, a social commentary, and a dark warning of the dangers facing humanity.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“May’s dramatic descriptions of the future world and the time traveler’s horror as he faces the Morlocks are both exciting and playful…May’s narration is an excellent presentation of this science fiction classic and will help keep Wells’s imagined future alive for a new generation.” AudioFile
