Jules Verne

No. The real Morlocks are the activists who want to impose their beliefs on us all (e.g. forcing people to believe that HHO powering cars is th only answer for alternative energy), while the techies work to build a better world.

Time travel only works in the forward direction. Why, just the other day, I met a woman who had traveled here from 1942!

I am rather curious about the thought process leading to this perspective on Jules verne, given that he also wrote "Round the World in Eighty Days" and placing that novel in the context of time travel is rather curious.

Some how, I missed getting the link with time travel with respect to reading Twenty Thousand leagues backwards, and the link between "Round the world in Eighty Days" and time travel as per my initial curiosity
