The Time Machine (Version 7)
H. G. Wells
Read by Cliff Stone
The story follows a Victorian scientist, who claims that he has invented a device that enables him to travel through time, and has visited the future. There, he finds the human species has “evolved” into two distinct forms. Above ground live the Eloi—gentle, fairy-like, childish creatures, whose existence appears to be free of struggle. However, another race of beings exists—the Morlocks, underground dwellers who, once subservient, now prey on the feeble, defenseless Eloi. - Summary by Cliff Stone (3 hr 26 min)

Reviews
Great story and well read
JamesTSmirk
This story was very well read and I’m pleased it still gets such attention even in this time. My only regret is that more could not be added to it but it seems such a thing would cause a paradox.

I didn't enjoy this man's Australian accent so, I lasted less than 2 minutes.
