It's an okay book. Sometimes it was hard to focus on what's was happening and I had to reread a lot of paragraphs, but I think that's on me. It has a fast pace so I think overall it's easy to read, especially if you enjoy sci-fi.

Great writing and a classic to get lost in. The world Wells creates of the distant future results in great curiousity and wonder and at times some sense of fear of the unknown. Only issues being that it's relatively short (which can't be complained about really) and that some things aren't really explained to a degree I wished them to be in the book.
Está bastante chulo, aunque es muy corto. Pero bueno, dan ganas de leer algún otro de este tío (La Guerra de los Mundos). El notas propone un futuro (en el 800.000 d.C. o algo así) raro de cojones, pero curiosísimo xdddd

“But to me the future is still black and blank—is a vast ignorance, lit at a few casual places by the memory of his story. And I have by me, for my comfort, two strange white flowers—shrivelled now, and brown and flat and brittle—to witness that even when mind and strength had gone, gratitude and a mutual tenderness still lived on in the heart of man.”
Oh, wow. My mind is BLOWN; my heart is OVERWHELMED, and; my bladder, which is filled with urine I've yet to release because I am utterly engrossed by this book, is BURSTING.
My, my, what a book! This was written in 1895, but the concept and image of future was well-conceptualized and -created and plausible. What I liked most about this was Wells didn't *randomly* create this version of the future. His unnamed Time Traveller tried and theorized how did mankind become that way in the future, tracing back to the character's own present time. It's astonishing.
Additionally, the book was unputdownable. It was a thrilling adventure you won't stop reading until you're sure what happens next. Wells wrote with such vivid description and imagery that I couldn't help but flinch in particular moments (in particular, that one with huge Crustacea).
Finally, that conclusion. It was so poignant, beautifully written celebration of innate kindness of mankind.
What a book. (Now, excuse me, I have to pee.)
