Unfortunately for me, the events that transpire in the Traveler's future just aren't interesting or entertaining. The mode by which the story is told takes the reader out of the events and into the room where the story is being told. In a sense, it is even further removed from immersion, so to speak. The best part was his final jumps into the future where he sees the earth dying.

This book has intrigued me the second it disproved the cube. That was it, I was hooked. And the book just wouldn't let go.

Me ha parecido una obra maestra.
Las reflexiones que Wells hace sobre lo que cree que será el futuro de la humanidad son fascinantes y al mismo tiempo, expuestas con tanta claridad que hasta un niño o chaval muy joven podrían entender. Escrito en 1895, hace que me maraville de la visión que tenían este tipo de autores.
Además, esta edición tiene un prólogo de Félix J. Palma y un epílogo del traductor Rodolfo Martínez, que aportan datos muy interesantes.
Es una historia fantástica. Me la apunto para futuras relecturas.
