The Time Machine

H.G. Wells' matchless tale of the first Time-Traveller, who journeys 80,000 years into the future and finds the human race split into two separate species, the placid Eloi, and the loathesome, subterranean Moloch, who capture his marvellous machine and whose nocturnal existence shrouds a hideous secret. Published in 1895, but bang up-to-date!
