An Apple Classic edition.
The Time Machine is the uncontested granddaddy of all modern time travel stories. H.G. Wells’ 1895 adventure sweeps us up alongside a brilliant scientist who is determined to expand his experience beyond the confines of the present day. His journey through space and time brings him face-to-face with the darkest and most brilliant aspects of human existence.
Quotes
From WikiquoteThere is no difference between Time and any of the three dimensions of Space except that our consciousness moves along it.
Are you so sure we can move freely in Space? Right and left we can go, backward and forward freely enough, and men always have done so. I admit we move freely in two dimensions. But now about up and down? Gravitation limits us there.
We are always getting away from the present moment. Our mental existences, which are immaterial and have no dimensions, are passing along the Time Dimension with a uniform velocity from the cradle to the grave. Just as we should travel down if we began our existence fifty miles above the earth's surface.
Long ago I had a vague inkling of a machine... That shall travel indifferently in any direction of Space and Time, as the driver determines.
