| - | '''''The Time Machine''''' is a novella by [[H. G. Wells]], first published in 1895 and later directly adapted into at least two [[feature film]]s of the same name, as well as two [[television]] versions, and a large number of [[comic book]] adaptations. It indirectly inspired many more works of [[fiction]] in all media. This 38,000 word [[novella]] is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of [[time travel]] using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to such a vehicle. It was also inspired by [[Charles Darwin]] and [[On the Origin of Species]], which theorizes that humans have evolved from a different species. Wells introduces an early example of the [[Dying Earth subgenre]] as well. | + | |
