The Time Machine is one of the best science fiction novels. H. G. Wells presented the sci-fi genre through this novel. The plot begins at a dinner party, where the Time Traveller is the host and explains to his guests how Time is just human-made. He says that Time and Space are the same things. The Time Traveller explains that we experience the time difference because our consciousness is oriented along the Time Axis. The Traveller explains how Gravity weighs us down into the three space dimensions but is still traversable, and therefore time travel is possible. He shows his guest his Functional Time Machine and through which ready to travel. The Time Machine presents a vivid and haunting picture of an earth some 800,000 years into the future. This novel was one of the first novels to deal with the concept of time travel and was regarded as one of the most impactful works on the science fiction genre. "The Time Machine" was written at the beginning of a period of great technological advancement. H.G. Wells was highly skeptical of technological developments in advancing the interests of the society. The author raises the question: will technology ever go too far? The future world of the Eloi described in the novel warns of the hazardous consequences of unchecked technological advancements in a provocative and timeless way.
