- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The short stories in this collection range from prehistoric times to the 22nd century and most are great reads. I loved Wells' take on the future, where we won't be reading books, just listening to phonographs; a miraculous road surface will be discovered which never needs repair, major streets will be up to 800 feet wide with lanes for each speed. But young couples will still need a chaperone along when courting.
