Summary

The Time Machine is a science-fiction novella by H. G. Wells, published in 1895 and written as a frame narrative. The work is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle or device to travel purposely and selectively forward or backward through time. The term time machine, coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle or device.

The work has been adapted into three feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions and many comic-book adaptations. It has also indirectly inspired many more works of fiction in many media productions.
