bookshelves: classic, sci-fi-beam-me-up

The Wellsian classic - a man recounts his adventures in his Time Machine. in which he travelled many years into different points in the future to a cynical audience. The reason I feel that Well's sci-fi ages so poorly is because he tied it into a Victorian perspective, although in his defence, he still showed immense foresight compared to his peers, but with the technological developments made since, now is very dated. 4 out of 12.

Federico DN Oh I loved the time Machine movie, specially the 2002 <3, although I hear it was not entirely faithful to the book. Also watched the 1960 one. I have to read the book someday and compare. Wonderful review Baba!

Cheers Federico :). I love the 1960s movie too, although it must have dated as bad as the book?
