A short story that delves into the political and social advancements of mankind. Didn’t expect a classic to be so in touch with modern themes and I found myself considering my own theories into the devolution of man. Really interesting and a beautiful writing style.

I think I should quit reading classic sci-fi. It's not as action-packed as the modern genre, and I don't really think quite so much when I'm reading. This one had something interesting going on about human nature, but it went over my head. I did enjoy the bit of mystery about what happened to the future, but other than that I was uninterested.

my first HG Wells story and probably not my last but it was a little slow in places.

I love sci-fi but this wasn’t really my cup of tea.

Es un libro de ontología disfrazado de aventura de ciencia ficción.

Su planteamiento es visionario, teniendo en cuenta que se ha publicado por primera vez en 1895. Además de ser una de las primeras novelas de ficción científica, levanta muchas cuestiones interesantes sobre temas como la evolución, la sociología y el comportamiento humano. Me ha encantado especialmente la primera parte del libro, en la que las teorías del tiempo, la cuarta dimensión y el eternalismo son discutidos. Wells araña solo la superficie de todo esto, pero es lo suficiente para despertar la curiosidad sin que el libro pierda el ritmo de una historia de aventuras.

Esta fue la primera vez que he probado un audiolibro y la experiencia fue positiva. No es lo mismo que leer, está claro, una vez que el narrador siempre añadirá algo a la interpretación del libro sin que lo pueda evitar, pero, si hace bien su trabajo, como sirve esta edición de ejemplo, es una buena opción para aprovechar ciertos momentos que no permiten la lectura directa, como un largo viaje en coche por ejemplo.
