This writer is considered one of the founders of American fiction. His first books corresponded to the traditional canons of science fiction, but then he was able to find his own style, which was spoken of as very “soft” or “pastoral”. Simak talked a lot about the spiritual community of all who live in the universe. "Mastodonia" is a solid fantastic novel, colorful, it does not let you get bored. The main characters are archaeologists who, having managed to open portals to the past, try to use it for profit, and not for the interests of science.

This is one of the first major works of the author, published back in 1895. Wells said that working on the novel was not easy for him. But the result was a unique work that created a new direction - chrono-fantasy, i.e. books about time travel with a special machine. The protagonist is the Time Traveler. He goes to the distant future. It is not as bright as many people imagine it: humanity has degraded. There are 2 types of people left on Earth: descendants of the former elite, they are called Eloi, and morloks descended from workers. The former are weak and fragile, they cannot and cannot labor. Over the long millennia, during which they did not use the mind, the eloes practically lost it. Morlocks, like Elois, turned into semi-animals. They live in the Underground Kingdom, where they monitor the work of mechanisms and machines. Due to the fact that the Morlocks lived underground for a long time, they became lower than ordinary people, covered with white wool and became afraid of harsh light. The Time Traveler had to fight for his life and the opportunity to go back.
