Fifteen Fictions for Summer re-release: The Time Machine
Update: 2024-08-25
Description
Our eighth Great Political Fiction is H. G. Wells’ The Time Machine (1895) which isn’t just a book about time travel. It’s also full of late-19th century fear and paranoia about what evolution and progress might do to human beings in the long run. Why will the class struggle turn into savagery and human sacrifice? Who will end up on top? And how will the world ultimately end?
Tomorrow: Bertolt Brecht’s Mother Courage & Her Children
