The Time Machine by H.G. Wells - Signet Classic

The Novel That Invented Time Travel

The Time Machine by H.G. Wells is the book that started it all. Published in 1895, this groundbreaking novella introduced the concept of time travel to the world and launched an entire genre of science fiction. This Signet Classic edition features a new introduction by Greg Bear - one of the greatest science fiction writers of our time - offering fresh perspective on Wells's visionary masterpiece.

When a Victorian scientist known only as the Time Traveller climbs into his extraordinary machine and hurtles 800,000 years into the future, he discovers a world beyond imagination - a dying Earth inhabited by two strange races, the gentle Eloi and the terrifying Morlocks. What he finds is not a utopia, but a chilling warning about class, evolution, and the fate of humanity.
