Query: not just sci-fi

I enjoyed this book not just because of the science fiction slant (and HGW does a good job of theorizing time travel), but because of the thinly veiled commentaries, covering everything from class struggles to evolution. The narrative is a bit dry, but hey, I can deal with it, and the fact that this book was written so long ago only adds to the outstanding quality of the plot. A funny note - my edition was published in 1968, the cover showing the traveller materializing against a background of Eloi and Morlocks. The Eloi, as they should be, are represented as slight people covered with flowers, and the front & back covers as well as the intro page emphasize how this book predicted the coming of the "flower children" and how HGW foresaw the peace movement of the 60s. Yeah, it's a stretch, but cute nonetheless...
