The Time Traveller's Journey into the future is an incredible visual experience, especially considering it was written before time travel stories became popular. H.G. Wells has a knack for creating vivid images that stick with you, but I have to admit that it becomes evident that Wells purposefully adopted an "everyday man" stylistic approach to convey the protagonist's confusion, akin to his method in War of the Worlds. In moderation, the deliberate exclusion of explicit details in favour of leaning into the lost perspectives and suggesting on unexplained phenomena can enhance the storytelling experience. However, in this particular instance,  I would have liked to see and feel more of the world  an opportunity to fully see and feel the future unraveling before me, as well as a more pronounced character arc. 

 On the whole, The Time Traveller is a pleasant read, albeit one that leaves a slight yearning for a deeper exploration of the protagonist's development. It thrives as a vessel for presenting thought-provoking theories and societal inquiries but falls short only that in a modern perspective the details and prose can come across as meandering at times. I'd give this one a read if you enjoy the academic study of sociological issues, or if you have an imagination that lends itself to filling in details of a vast world.
