The Time Machine by Dobbs, Mathieu Moreau, H.G. Wells
3.0
"The Time Machine" has probably preceded it's time. I'm guessing it laid the foundation for sci-fi, time-travelling and speculative/dystopian literature. And it's beautifully written.
Still, the book left me entirely unimpressed. What may have been awesome in 1895 is no longer as deep or soul-grabbing in 2017. These ideas have been further developed after Wells, and he seems primitive, naive even, in comparison.
