A review by standardman
Tales of Space and Time by H.G. Wells

3.0

The Crystal Egg
Delightful mostly low key sci-fi that feels like it must have been way ahead of its time. My only issue is it feels like the intriguing start of something.

The Star
Peppered with some dodgy of the period racism and sexism but a stunning imagining of an object giving us a near pass.

A Story of the Stone Age
Interminable caveman story with all the problematic issues of the time but also some bloody awful storytelling.

A Story of Days to Come
Quite fun for the speculations at the future - very much extrapolation from the Victorian era - but far too long and unfocused.

The Man Who Could World Miracles
A fun, light conclusion that's mostly an excuse to explore one idea.
