Book Buzz: "The Time Machine" - H.G. Wells


"I danced myself right out the womb.Is it strange to dance so soon?"--> T. Rex <--

"The Time Machine" (1895) is a classic sci-fi tale about a gentleman discussing his latest invention with a small and unbelieving group of dinner guests.

Of course this intricate contraption is called a...time machine. (btw...the 'time machine' term we have all become overly familiar with was first coined by Wells.)

The inventor tells of his strange traveling experiments that carried him off into the future where he finds himself way the 'H' in the 81st century.
H.G. Wells
H.G. Wells' thought provoking ideas on evolution are worthy of discussion...and appreciating the fact this novel was written nearly 120 years ago makes it all-the-more amazing.

Long before our man Gene-O was writing about explorers "boldly going where no man had gone before"...legendary sci-fi author, H.G. Wells was dreaming novels of man doing a little cosmic dancing themselves.
