First published in 1895, 'The Time Machine' is a science fiction novella by H.G. Wells, an English writer. Excellent in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography, and autobiography.<P>
Wells crafts a striking and haunting picture of an earth some 800,000 years into the future. He is typically credited with the popularization of the notion of time travel by using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel deliberately and selectively forwards or backwards in time. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now universally used to direct to such a vehicle. The Time Machine has been adapted into three feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It has also indirectly inspired many more works of fiction in many media productions.<P>
