Quote:...about a Victorian scientist known as the Time Traveller who travels to the year 802,701. The work is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle or device to travel purposely and selectively forward or backward through time.yes, yes he was a socialist
A work of future history and speculative evolution, The Time Machine is interpreted in modern times as a commentary on the increasing inequality and class divisions of Wells's era, which he projects as giving rise to two separate human species: the fair, childlike Eloi, and the savage, simian Morlocks, distant descendants of the contemporary upper and lower classes respectively.
(and/or some wizarding author could have written a magical equivalent called "The Time Turner" with some post-apocalyptic envisioning of the distant future and collapse of wizarding society, lol)
Could we site-canon H.G. Wells as a muggleborn and have this actually be a case of "The Time Turner" being published a few years back and H.G. Wells getting the authors permission to make it muggle-centric? Like, this is the only work he collaborated in this way on, he would not be playable, but the other author one day could be?
