My expectations about the Time Machine

So before I start reading, I want to go over my three main predictions about this book:

      1. It will be highly inaccurate compared to current views of time travel

I think this is a given considered this novel was published in 1895, back when the sciences didn't really care about hypothetical stuff like time travel or the "many-world interpretation", so I'm mostly expecting kind of a fairy tail approach to the whole time travel process, explained through emotions rather than logic, maybe magic or the whole "time machine" device will be left unexplained and the book will just focus on the adventures in different eras.

      2. The views or the future will be exaggerated

In case the characters in the novel go to the future, I think it is safe to assume it will play out as most pre-2000 fiction movies and shows, with the future being this technological utopia with flying cars and robots coexisting with humans. Which will be interesting since that was the 1900's idea of what the 2000's would look like, but this was written before 1900 altogether.

      3. The moral will be not to mess with time travel

As with most time travel stories, they almost always end up with the same "messing with time is dangerous" message. The "butterfly effect" in chaos theory actually existed before the writing of this book, but I doubt H. G. Wells had the foresight to apply its ideas to the novel. Even then, I can see the characters altering time and having to go back to revert the ill effects they caused.
