The Time Machine

Perhaps HG Wells had it right when he suggested that the choice we face in life is whether we devolve into the Eloi or the Morlock…but if so I believe his portrayal was flawed in one important detail.

In the literal sense I agree with Wells that humanity is in a sense evolving ore perhaps even devolving. I too humanity splitting in two to mirror the twin souls extant through the ages: The innocent, natural, and free spirited soul of the child; and, the dark and twisted soul of the cyborg we seem destined to become.
