Herbert Wells was the pioneer of science fiction genre (later known as scientific romances). In The Time Machine which was published in 1895 he for the first time comes up with an idea of time travelling with a machine. Wells wrote plenty of novels where he was talking about current tendencies, contemporary problem and perspectives of humanity. Seems that Wells believes in progress and technology but fears that humanity and moral rules are being forgotten. Morality is one of the central issues in the story. What Wells is really worries about is the huge gap between elite and the most of people. With the help of time machine the author tries to predict how this problem would develop in future 800,000 years later.
