How does Sci-Fi have only two on the top best books list?
About this book:
The Time
Machine is a science fiction novella by H. G. Wells, published in
1895 and later adapted into 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
many media. This story is generally credited with the popularisation
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.
This work is an early example of the Dying Earth subgenre.
The book's
protagonist is an English scientist and gentleman inventor living in
Richmond, Surrey, identified by a narrator simply as the Time
Traveller. The narrator recounts the Traveller's lecture to his
weekly dinner guests that time is simply a fourth dimension, and his
demonstration of a tabletop model machine for travelling through it.
He reveals that he has built a machine capable of carrying a person,
and returns at dinner the following week to recount a remarkable
tale, becoming the new narrator.
In the new
narrative, the Time Traveller tests his device with a journey that
takes him to 802,701 A.D., where he meets the Eloi, a society of
small, elegant, childlike adults. They live in small communities
within large and futuristic yet slowly deteriorating buildings, doing
no work and having a frugivorous diet. His efforts to communicate
with them are hampered by their lack of curiosity or discipline, and
he speculates that they are a peaceful communist society, the result
of humanity conquering nature with technology, and subsequently
evolving to adapt to an environment in which strength and intellect
are no longer advantageous to survival.
Returning
to the site where he arrived, the Time Traveller is shocked to find
his time machine missing, and eventually works out that it has been
dragged by some unknown party into a nearby structure with heavy
doors, locked from the inside, which resembles a Sphinx. (source:
