One of the best sci-fi thrillers I know, although there are some plot holes (Why does the time machine work as depicted? What's the real reason one can't change the past? ...): After the murder of his fiancé, the college teacher Alex Hartdegen builds a time machine and travels into the future only to discover that man managed to nearly destroy planet Earth and that a part of mankind lives in slavery. He then decides to help free the slaves from the grip of the Molocks and sacrifices his only chance of returning to his time: he destroys his time machine so that the Eloi can escape slavery.

"What's the real reason one can't change the past"<br /> Got answered from the Ûber Warlock. He is caught in a loop. He can't go back in time to save his fiancée, because her death is the reason he went back in time in the first place. <br /> Makes perfect sense to me at least.

@q11x: Yeah, its the reason he went back. But after going back and changing the past, the events along the timeline would be changed from there on and there would be no reason for him to go back because his fiancé would not be dead, meaning there is no loop, no?!?!
