It's time to dive into the first book I've read for the SciFi Fantasy and Weird Exploration. I decided to go classic with one of the big authors of science fiction, HG Wells, and his novel The Time Machine. I think it was a good place to start given it's novella length and also because I'm sure this is a theme/idea that will come up in many more books to come. It was a little more accessible than I expected, and also embraced social commentary as well as having it's own adventure story feel.

I do a spoiler-free review, but also go into a deeper discussion for those that have read the book to talk about the content and ideas in the book. Spoiler-Talk/Discussion begins at 9:15.
