are perfect representations of what man will evolve into, due to both Natural Selection and the changes within their climate. The Eloi and the Morlocks are species which have evolved from humans, each exhibiting one side of the same coin. The Time Traveller explicitly states that the Eloi and the Morlocks are two species that have evolved from humanity. The pretty and fragile Eloi are mirror images of the ugly and brutish Morlocks. Both prove what Darwin had stated not that long ago, Humans
Jules Verne plays with his readers' perceptions of life and sentience in both Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas and Robur the Conqueror. Both novels share fundamental novums; a vehicle that cannot exist during the current time does, in fact, exist. Although these technological modes of transport utilized in both novels are fantastical and near-mythical in nature, they both are grounded in possible (and probable) methods of operation.

I had a feeling of Déjà vu the entire time that I read Forster’s The Machine Stops. I am not sure if I have read something similar or my feeling of Déjà vu was really the feeling of impending doom. I feel like we may become these people if (in spirit) we have not done so already. How amazing that we have a story from 1909 that was so futuristic back then and so real now.

sci-fiction story. When it comes to technology, ‘A Sound of Thunder’ uses it better than ‘Nethergrave’.

Henry Dorsett Case has a co-dependent relationship with technology. He is so caught up in technology that when his “relationship” with it is put an end to he couldn’t move on. An example of Case codependency on technology is even in his dreams he would still have thoughts about cyberspace, “A year here and he still dreamed of cyberspace, hope fading nightly.
