A surprisingly easy read about issues of classism that remain true to this day, highlighting how a rich man would be more likely to believe the future to be a human utopia so of course he'd come to the future unprepared for the dangers.
The Morlocks were written as convincingly terrifying and I understand why the Morlocks persist in pop culture when classism remains prevalent.

Some interesting exploration of humanity and social commentary but. The time traveller is just. So utterly unlikeable. So self-centred, inconsiderate, arrogant and small-minded.
I recognise that’s in no small part a consequence of the time. But it just constantly distracted me from the story and it’s commentary.
Beyond seeking context for cultural references (Eloi and Morlock), I wouldn’t bother tbh.
Moderate: Cannibalism
Minor: War, Fire/Fire injury, and Death
