This dystopian novel is one of the earliest works of science fiction and discovers time travel, the progress of technology and the decline of civilisation between equality and inequality. A Victorian scientist develops a device which enables him to travel to the far future. After arriving in a post-apocalyptic time, he is horrified, when he discovers that human civilisation has decayed and that the people living on the planet’s surface serve as food for the Morlocks, a humanoid subspecies, which is living in subterranean caves.
