In these 'scientific romances' H. G. Wells sees the present
reflected in the future and the future in the present. His aim is
to provoke rather than predict. The Sleeper falls into a trance,
waking up two centuries later as the richest man in a world of new
technologies, power-greedy leaders, sensual elites, and brutalised
industrial slaves. Arriving in the year 802,701, the Time-Traveller
finds that humanity has evolved into two drastically different
species; going farther still, he witnesses the ultimate fate of the
solar system. The Chronic Argonauts, the original version of The
Time Machine, pits a scientist with daring views of time and space
against superstitious villagers. In all three works Wells laces
vivid adventure stories with the latest ideas in biology and
physics.
