`The Time Machine

H.G. Wells has explored the idea of evolution in this book. He has considered and put across his thoughts and ideas about the future many hundreds of thousands of years into the future and nearing the end of the book, millions into the book.

The book kicks off where the Time Traveller is showing and explaining his ideas on time travel. Of course, the people listening think that the idea of time travelling is farfetched and laughable.

When they next meet the Time Traveller had already embarked and returned from his journey into the future. The Time Traveller is a mysterious man and sometimes its hard to read what he’s feeling, but when he gets back it seems that he is enjoying the attention and enjoying keeping them waiting and tense.
