“The Time Machine” is a book written by the father of science fiction, H.G. Wells. This is a book so famous that it actually coined the phrase “time machine” to refer to a machine that travels through time. It is a short but sprawling book, flinging mankind into the farthest future where we see how the consequences of our actions today can affect the world for millennia. It still holds up, too. It’s a little more plot- and concept-heavy than today’s novels, but it’s a fascinating story full of interesting twists.

The villain this time is neither fascinating nor full of twists. He’s a one-note idiot obsessed with returning to a past that never was.
