读《时间机器》有感

I had the pleasure of reading the book Time Machine this semester, and he benefited me a lot. It was the first work to feature time travel, and its publication is considered the beginning of "the first year of science fiction". Time Machine presents a disturbing scenario in which humans, as the species at the top of the evolutionary tree, don't necessarily get more advanced. This view was inherited from Darwin and Huxley, and criticized and warned against the mainstream Victorian concept of arrogance and self-esteem as the "primate of all things". Eighty thousand years later, our descendants will either be elegant and gentle but treated as food, or Morlock people who hide deep in the crypt and drink blood. Under the glamorous appearance, the primitive instinct of man remains, and any species may regress to its most primitive state in the process of evolution. But the key to stopping this shift lies in civilization and education. For me, this book makes my knowledge more extensive, because I read the English version, which also increases my vocabulary a lot, understands a lot of sentences and grammar usage, and more when I understand every word, understand every sentence, and then gradually explore the author's writing purpose, this step into a deeper realm. One of my favorite quotes is: "There are stars in the sky, but I feel as if they don't shimmer anymore".
