H.G. Wells: The Science Fiction Collection
Featured Listen
The Time Machine introduced the concept of time travel to a mass audience and established H.G. Wells as a sci-fi pioneer and visionary author. While relatively short at around 32,000 words, The Time Machine had a major impact, introducing many of the tropes that have become staples of time travel fiction, including the idea of a vehicle or device for traveling through time.
