H. G. Wells published The Time Machine in 1895, almost two centuries after Swift published Gulliver's Travels. However, both novels are remarkably similar in social criticism and theme. While Gulliver's Travels is a satirical work (making fun of the English Parliamentary folly), The Time Machine uses problems with humanity to create a future-looking science fiction novel.
Soon, we will complete this comparison chart of the two novels.
The Time Machine is available in free audio book online at the following links:
