2018 review:  Man oh man.. this is not what I was hoping for at all. I understand it's significance, but the narration is just not entertaining. Not to me. It would have worked better had we experienced the tale with the Time Machine, rather than reading how he talks about what he went through.

A very interesting sci-fi read. A scientist has some friends over to talk about time travel and one shares that he’d recently returned from the future and describes what it was like with the help of his recordings from his trip. He describes the different classes in the future society, Wells alludes to the social injustices that come about through class differences. This was published in 1895 but feels very relevant to today.
