"I am a traveler in time. I am a witness to the sunset of mankind."

An unnamed Victorian scientist, known only as the Time Traveller, reveals to his skeptical dinner guests a machine capable of traversing the fourth dimension. He hurls himself into the distant future, arriving in the year 802,701. Expecting a pinnacle of human achievement, he finds instead the Eloi—small, beautiful, and fragile creatures living in a state of idle decadence. But the paradise is an illusion. Beneath the surface dwell the Morlocks—monstrous, subterranean hunters who tend to the Eloi like cattle. Wells' masterpiece is a gripping adventure that serves as a chilling warning about the ultimate consequences of class division and biological evolution.

The Evolution of Inequality: Wells uses the Eloi and the Morlocks to represent the final, biological divergence of the Victorian class system. The "Capitalist" class has evolved into the helpless, surface-dwelling Eloi, while the "Working" class has become the predatory, underground Morlocks. This startling use of Social Darwinism suggests that without social justice, humanity is doomed to a predatory split.

A Vision of the Cosmic End: Beyond the conflict of the two races, the Time Traveller journeys even further into the future—to the very end of the world. He witnesses a dying Earth under a bloated, red sun, where the last flickers of life are alien and unrecognizable. It is one of the most haunting and influential sequences in all of science fiction, portraying a universe that is vast, indifferent, and eventually silent.

Step into the fourth dimension. Purchase "The Time Machine" today and witness the ultimate destiny of our species.
