Features: Time is strange; we exist within it, yet we cannot grasp its truth. Among works about time, H.G. Wells's The Time Machine is undoubtedly one of the classics. In the book, the concern for the self ultimately rises to a concern for humanity, reaching a compassionate religious realm—rather than just a fantastical story about humans conquering time. Will he fly to the future again? Fly into a relatively recent era where people are still the same as now, but the mysteries of our time have been solved, and the unsolvable puzzles have been resolved. Or did he fly into the adulthood of humanity? Because personally, I believe that in that relatively recent era, science is weak, philosophy is fragmented, and people are constantly at war, never reaching a glorious peak! This is my personal opinion. I know that time travelers have always held a pessimistic view of human progress, seeing the ever-growing civilization as a foolish structure that will inevitably collapse and, in turn, destroy its creators.
