With this 1895 novella, the father of science fiction, H.G. Wells, single-handedly invented the time traveling genre, along with the now ubiquitous term, "time machine." Following the exploits of the Time Traveller, Wells' novel kicked off the "dying earth" theme now popular throughout science fiction. At turns thrillingly imaginative as well as curiously predictive, "The Time Machine" remains an uncontested classic.

2.0 The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
text The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
Interesting concept, but the execution fell a bit flat (or old fashioned - it was written in 1895). Central themes, besides the minor time-travel aspect, include how the social class divide and technological innovations have altered humanity. This book provides something to think about.
