Line 1: {{work}}{{Multiple Works Need Separate Pages}} ~~{{work}}{{cleanup\|Multiple versions of the story have been crammed into this page and need to be broken out to their own pages.}}~~ [https://web.archive.org/web/20131114073536/http://pd.sparknotes.com/lit/timemachine/ '''''The Time Machine'''''] is a classic tale of [[Time Travel]], and one of the first to use a scientific mechanism to achieve it (Wells' own ''The Chronic Argonauts'' was years earlier). Where his predecessors had used [[All Just a Dream\|visions]] to achieve the time travel, and only sent their protagonists [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]], [[H. G. Wells]] had his protagonist invent an actual time machine and travel into the far future. The story begins in [[Victorian London]] with the nameless narrator talking to his equally nameless friends, among them the Time Traveler, who casually describes his invention, and gives the assembled friends a demonstration. The next week, the Time Traveler appears, much the worse for wear, saying he has been to the year AD 802,701.
