A review by johncm
The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
3.0
I first read this in 6th grade, and now at 43, decided to check it out again. As science fiction it is thought-provoking. As fiction, it's entertaining (much more so than Jules Verne).
What are the physical forces beyond our control that are continually shaping us? Is humanity's search for the easy life destined to make us weak? Does work make brutes of us?
When change in the world is inevitable, why do we insist on the privilege of remaining the same?
