TheTimeMachine:MoreThanTimeTravel Nowadays, "Time Travel" seems to have become a common subject of science fiction l iterature, and has been visual ized in many science fiction movies.Although this concept is no longer new and even the time machine has its theoretical basis based on the theory of relativity in 1905,backto 1895,more than 100years ago, this bold idea had already been generated. This is from Herbert George Wel ls (1866-1946), the pioneerof British sciencefiction. Recently I just read the famous work The Time Machine publ ished in 1895written by this sci-fi writer.This book tel ls a story of a time traveler who invented a time machineandwas abletopass freelythroughthe pastandthefuture.Butwhen he arrived in A.D. 802701, he was confronted with a strange and terrible scene.Humans were evolved into two races: the Elois and the Morlocks.The former was beautiful and exquisite, but had lost the abi l ity to work.The latter was with a grim face,worked al l day and was accustomed to the dark l ife underground. The time traveler continued his journey after an adventure and saw scenes tens of mi l l ions of years later. Final ly, he returned to the "present" and told his friends about his travel .Soon hewenton hissecondtimetripand nevercame back. As a pioneering work of Time Travel, this book ha's landmark significance in the history of world science fiction l iterature.The authors advanced idea undoubtedly amazes the people of that time and even modern people. But what I want to talk about is more than the concept of time travel in this book, but the author's reflections on the problems brought a'bout by the development of m'odern science and technology. In fact, unl ike Vernes optimistic tone I read,Wel lstone is ful l of sadness and pessimism about the bl ind d'evelopment of society and technology. I suppose this is closely related to this books creation background. In this book,Wel ls focuses on evolutionism and class outlook, answering questions about typical humanistic concern in science fiction such as "in which direction wi l l mankind evolve?"and"whether human social developmentwi l l go backwards".
