The Time Machine, written by H.G.

Wells, is a science fiction novel that has been captivating


readers since its publication in 1895. The novel follows a Time Traveller, who builds a time
machine and uses it to travel to the future. Throughout his journey, the Time Traveller
discovers a post-apocalyptic world where two races of people have evolved: the Eloi and the
Morlocks. The Time Traveller's experiences in the future offer readers an insightful look into
the dangers of social class divisions and the consequences of unchecked technological
progress.

The Time Traveller's arrival in the far future reveals the devastating effects of unchecked
technological progress. In this future, technology has advanced to a point where it is no
longer beneficial to humanity. Machines have become so advanced that they have replaced
the need for human labor, leading to a society in which the Eloi, a race of frail and feeble
creatures, have become completely dependent on the machines. The Time Traveller's
journey also reveals the consequences of unchecked social class divisions. The Morlocks, a
race of subterranean creatures, are responsible for the maintenance of the machines and
the Eloi's way of life, yet they are treated as second-class citizens by the Eloi. This
oppressive class system has led to the Morlocks' resentment of the Eloi and their desire to
keep them as their "sheep."

The Time Traveller's journey also serves as a warning to readers of the dangers of
unchecked social class divisions and technological progress. Through the Time Traveller's
experiences, readers are able to see firsthand how unchecked social class divisions can
lead to a dangerous power imbalance, as well as how unchecked technological progress can
lead to a world where people are completely dependent on machines.

The Time Machine is a highly acclaimed novel that offers readers an insightful look into the
dangers of unchecked social class divisions and technological progress. Through the Time
Traveller's journey, readers can gain a greater understanding of the consequences of
unchecked technology and social class divisions, and be reminded of the importance of
regulating both of these factors in order to create a better society for all.
