Figure 4.17
The Time Machine
, 1960, written by H. G. Wells, directed by George Pal. The time traveller
journeys (from Richmond, Surrey) to the year
AD
802,701, where he meets the Eloi, a society
of small, child-like people. They live in small communities, doing no work with a frugal diet.They
have descended from the leisured class, whilst the downtrodden working class has become the
violent, Eloi-eating, but light-fearing, Morlocks: 'There is no difference between time and any
of the three dimensions of space except that our consciousness moves along it.'
