科幻小說界的莎士比亞──赫伯特．喬治．威爾斯．Herbert George Wells是達爾文進化論和柏拉圖理想國的綜合體，在他的科幻小說中，人類的未來和科學的發展是密不可分的。進化觀點是他的寫作基礎，理想國思想則賦予了作品豐厚的內涵。．Herbert George Wells盡情伸展想像力的翅膀，穿梭宇宙的空間與時間，馳騁人類世界的過去和未來，運用廣博的自然科學知識描繪地球未來的生活面貌，獨特的
英國著名小說家赫伯特‧喬治‧威爾斯（Herbert George Wells）被譽為「科幻小說之父」、「科幻小說界的莎士比亞」，《時光機器》是威爾斯的第一部科幻小說，本書發表的1895年更被稱為「科幻小說誕生元年」。小說中在倫敦，有一位綽號「時光旅人」的科學家。 他發明了一台機器，可以用來旅行到任何時間。有一天，他穿越到了802701年。在那裡，他看到人類分為兩個種族，兩個種族之間，有一種微妙且恐怖的平衡……。本書發表於1895年，正逢英國的工業革命時期，威爾斯以動人心弦的文字，諷刺了當時社會的階級對立，社會中看似共榮的假象，資產家的長期壓榨終究會帶來無法挽回的後果。即使科技再進步，人類文明也終會迎來末日。
