An English scientist, known only as the Time Traveler, constructs a machine that allows him to move back and forth through different periods of time. Testing this machine, the man travels forward to AD 802,701. Here he discovers a lazy, undisciplined group of people who do not seem interested in anything.

Story0
In this series we listen to short stories that are NOT by perhaps the most well-known author of this type. But the many other rich talents in the volume may have treated the subject matter a little differently, or were perhaps just overlooked in the stampede to applaud the winner, but these authors are of equal merit. Each of their works is laden with talent, has purpose, and is rich and textured in this gloried niche of literature.

The Invisible Man is a science fiction novel by H. G. Wells. Originally serialized in Pearson's Weekly in 1897, it was published as a novel the same year. The Invisible Man of the title is Griffin, a scientist who has devoted himself to research into optics and invents a way to change a body's refractive index to that of air so that it neither absorbs nor reflects light and thus becomes invisible. He successfully carries out this procedure on himself, but fails in his attempt to reverse it. An enthusiast of random and irresponsible violence, Griffin has become an iconic character in horror fiction.

Mr. Hoopdriver is a frustrated draper’s assistant in Putney, London. He is badly paid, over-worked, and he needs a holiday. He also owns a bicycle—though he is an awkward rider. When his annual ten days’ holiday comes around, Mr. Hoopdriver sets out on a bicycling tour of the “Southern Coast.” Wells wrote this at the height of the bicycling craze and before the automobile. The bicycle gave freedom to the working class, weakened the English class structure and gave a boost to female emancipation. In his story he explores these changes.

H. G. Wells è considerato insieme a Verne uno dei padri del romanzo scientifico e precursore della fantascienza, riuscendo a fondere la scienza con un immaginario verosimile, al punto che descrisse con dieci anni di anticipo la bomba atomica. In ogni suo libro è contenuto un insegnamento morale, in particolare l'esortazione alla prudenza nelle scoperte scientifiche, perché non mettano in moto forze e conseguenze incontrollabili.

Months after a series of explosions on the Martian surface, a “meteor” crashes to Earth, and an invading force emerges from an extraterrestrial cylinder. Our nameless narrator relates the horrifying tale of the slowly dawning terror that pervades the planet as the seemingly unstoppable invading force sweeps over the globe, brushing aside the resisting human force with little effort. Can the human race somehow overcome the Martian hordes and regain control of their planet? Is there any force on Earth that can overcome the invaders?

Tono-Bungay is very possibly H. G. Wells' finest novel, bringing together so many strands of his work: that of the novelist, the scientific romancer, the humorist, the historian, and the prophet-like sociologist. It was published in 1909, and although Wells was disappointed by its poor sales, Arnold Bennett praised it thus: "When with the thrill of emotion that a great work communicates I finished reading Tono-Bungay, I was filled with a holy joy because Wells had stirred up the dregs again and more violently than ever....
