How The Time Machine Changed Me
A fun classic, though it felt more like reading a children’s story. It was fascinating to see how big ideas first emerged in literature, even if they seem a bit rough or clumsy by today’s standards. What struck me the most, though, was how the fear of communism was already present back then, echoing into today. Makes me laugh how that paranoia hasn’t disappeared over the years. EAT THE RICH, HAHAHA!
