The Time Machine: H.G. Wells
$20.00Regarded as the first science fiction thriller, it is the classic tale of the wanderings of the Time Traveller, his excursion in the fantastic machine of his creation into a future of nuclear war's aftermath; he encounters the Eloi - portrayed as the pampered, spiritless descendants of the upper class of his own time; and the Morlocks; the lower class who dwell below ground but who, in this future, control the cossetted Eloi in order to farm them for sustenance.
