Wells sees the present reflected in the future and the future in the present. His aim is to provoke rather than predict. \u003ci\u003eThe Sleeper\u003c\/i\u003e falls into a trance, waking up two centuries later as the richest man in a world of new technologies, power-greedy leaders, sensual elites, and brutalised industrial slaves. Arriving in the year 802,701, the Time-Traveller finds that humanity has evolved into two drastically different species; going farther still, he witnesses the ultimate fate of the solar system. \u003ci\u003eThe Chronic Argonauts\u003c\/i\u003e, the original version of \u003ci\u003eThe Time Machine\u003c\/i\u003e, pits a scientist with daring views of time and space against superstitious villagers. In all three works Wells laces vivid adventure stories with the latest ideas in biology and physics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31644823617633,"sku":"9781840227383","price":4.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_30103965.jpg?v=1726732584","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781840227383-time-machine-and-other-works","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
