The Time Machine
Where does the progress and prosperity of humanity ultimately lead us?
📝ONGO's Reflection
I picked up the book drawn by the intriguing premise of time travel, but what I met was a startlingly sharp social critique. Through the two races of the future world, the Eloi and the Morlocks, Wells warns of the bleak end that may await a humanity sunk in the swamp of comfort and inertia. I felt to the bone that true progress of civilization must be something beyond physical convenience. It is a captivating classic that makes us look back on our present not with vague hope but with keen vigilance.
