ππ‘π ππ’π¦π ππππ‘π’π§π was a very interesting novel, it was adventurous sometimes heartbreaking and full of great ideas. The ending surprised me, I didnβt expected it but it definitely suits the story.
I find it very interesting that this novel was written in 1895 according to the future predicted in the novel, about humanity and change of the world. It definitely was a very clever and captivating story that delves into some deeper topics as well about humanity and nature.
I really enjoyed Wells writing style and storytelling. I believe Weenaβs character is very important part of the book and for Wells to critique Victorian society through her on the treatment of women.
Also there was this question at the end of Audreyβs listen-along which very intrigued me.

Such an interesting question to think of. Honestly I probably would be afraid to travel to the future to see all the destruction human race has done to our Earth, it would be terrifying to see how far humanity has gone. Yes, maybe these arenβt the most positive outcomes but as of climate change and destruction is right now I canβt predict any better.
After coming back to the βpresentβ I definitely would do everything in my power to make a change in our world and try to make a difference.
I wish I had a time machine though to go back in time and see my Daddy againβ¦
I highly recommend this classic if you want to read a thought-provoking novel that will make you think but is also very adventurous and exciting.
