Description

Is time a distance which can be traversed? Is it a place to which we might travel? The Time Traveller (a title by which we alone know our main character) believes so and he is set on proving it. He has built his apparatus and done his tests, there is only left to climb into the machine himself and pull the lever. What will he find in the future? Progress! No doubt, he will find that man has climbed to the pinnacle of human potential and he will come among men in a golden age of prosperity. Reason and industry, scientific breakthroughs of all sorts, guarantee that the future of man is bright! Don’t they? Come with the Time Traveler on a journey more than 800,000 years hence into the future to find that things are altogether different from what all reason had led him to expect. Where has man gone? What has become of him? Who are these creatures he encounters now? Why do they seem terrified of the dark? Above all other questions, what have they done with his time machine and will he ever be able to get back home? Much is uncertain, but, if you have an adventurous spirit, what is certain is that you will love this harrowing tale of the future fate of man!
