The Time Machine

What it's about

The novel that gave the language the phrase, and then used it for something much bleaker than adventure: Wells goes forward far enough to watch class harden into two species, and then far enough to watch the sun go out.

Who it's for

- Anyone who reads science fiction and wants its first move - Readers who like a short book with a long shadow - Anyone who has only met the Eloi and Morlocks second-hand
