The Time Machine by H.G. Wells

mopherad's review against another edition

Eehhhh. I guess this had cool core, and I am sure this was super original at the time. But I was not into it and it kinda had a weird eugenic theme (No idea if it was intentional). Also wasted a lot of potential.

I have memories of the Wishbone episode where they did this, and I remember that being way better. Disappointed.

The time traveler travels into the distant future and upon his return tells his tale to his fellow men in Victorian England.
This was an interesting story as it kind of leaves you questioning was it real or was he just pulling his friends legs at the end of it.
