Hollow World by Michael J. Sullivan
4.0
4.5 stars
A great story, which does remind me of The Time Machine. Ellis builds a time-traveling device in his garage, and travels to the future with certain hopes and expectations. The society he finds astounds him, but - as The Traveller discovers - things are not as they seem, people change, and surprises may lurk around corners.
I really enjoyed this. It's light on the science (is there an earth-bound variant of space opera?), giving you the opportunity to concentrate on the characters and the philosophical questions raised without being distracted by technicalities.
