The Time Machine

Warning, not actually a punk post at all
How many of you have read The Time Machine, by H G Wells?
I think there's a movie by the same name, but it's terrible, don't even bother.
But the book, oh the book is good.
It's told in a sort of rambling way, much like this review, but there are some very good bits, the time traveler ends up millions of years into the future, when the working class have been forced further underground by the ruling class, and have eventually evolved into cave dwellers, able to see in the dark, but enraged by the sun. And basically enraged by everything.
By comparison, the Ruling Class has lived off the fruits of the workes labours for so long that they evolved into beautiful creates, but small, weak and generally hopeless. The tables finally turned at some stage, with the workers becoming considerably stronger, and eventually feeding off the richer upper class.
Anyway, it's a really interesting take on the Class War, if that's your button then I highly advise you to read this book.
Peace

The remake with Guy Pierce was unwatchable.
