The book "The Time Machine" was written by whom?

The book “The Time Machine” was written by H. G. Wells. Published in 1895, it is a science-fiction novella about a Victorian inventor who travels far into humanity’s future.

Wells’s Time Traveller reaches the year 802,701, where humanity has divided into two descendants: the gentle Eloi and the subterranean Morlocks. The story uses this strange future to explore class inequality, industrialization, and fears about human decline in Victorian Britain.

The phrase “time machine” became a standard term largely because of Wells’s book. The story grew from an earlier 1888 work by Wells called “The Chronic Argonauts,” which provided the foundation for the finished novella. A common mix-up is confusing Wells with the unnamed Time Traveller, who is the story’s fictional protagonist, not its author.
