S
It's an interesting book, made me want to read more about the author and more about Science Fiction.

I've not much to add. More than a story, it is a society kinda criticism/analysis. 
As for the little story, it is good, liked the descriptions of the situations and surroundings, it made me feel/understand what the main character was passing through. And I managed to get attached and feel sad for a character.

Love you Weena.

3'5. "Una ley natural que olvidamos es que la versatilidad intelectual es la compensación por el cambio, el peligro y la inquietud".

El autor hipotetiza hacia donde nos dirige el "progreso". Me ha gustado el ejercicio de reflexión porque nos lleva al año 802.701, donde muy lejos queda ya cualquier régimen socioeconómico que nosotros conozcamos. Me parece muy adelantado a su época, aunque no estoy de acuerdo con él.

I feel like The Time Machine wasn't a very good novel. It however could have been a good essay if it were solely his views on where the society might end up because of it's faults.

The idea behind it was great. In the start it was very interesting as well with his scientific explanation behind the time travel. But then it quickly became tedious. The writing felt rigid and overly descriptive. I did not care for any of the characters.

I had really high expectations for this book so I'm very very disappointed.
