The best things said about it
The guy who predicted our current rocket program with NASA and that wrote The Time Machine and did all sorts of really neat stuff.
They're like the Eloy in H.G. Wells's The Time Machine.
A good example of this would be the Eloy and the Morlocks from The Time Machine.

Why people recommend it
The Time Machine by H. G. Wells is a classic science fiction novella that explores the far-future evolution of humanity into two distinct species, the Eloi and the Morlocks. The book frequently appears in cultural and intellectual discussions across various podcasts. Gurwinder Bhogal referenced the novel on Modern Wisdom to draw analogies about how artificial intelligence might eventually split human society into high-agency and low-agency classes. Similarly, Ben Bowlin on Stuff They Don't Want You To Know and Josh Clark on Stuff You Should Know brought up H.G. Wells's work to discuss genetic modification, the unintended consequences of human evolution, and the author's legacy in speculative storytelling. George Santos and other commentators on Timcast IRL also referenced the Morlocks and Eloi to describe future societal stratification between the wealthy and the poor. Neil deGrasse Tyson noted on StarTalk Radio that the novel was a remarkable storytelling milestone that arrived long before modern conceptions of time travel.
