Male protagonist Alex meets with robbers when he proposes to his girlfriend Emma in the park. Emma was shot and killed for resisting the robbers. He travels back in time to save his girlfriend, but this time Emma dies in a car accident. Alex went back to the past many times, but he couldn't change the past. Later, he traveled to the future. At that time, human civilization experienced catastrophe and returned to primitive society.
The primitive society of the future is not peaceful, and there are also security threats. Soldiers exist to defend their homes and their loved ones. Weapons are the tools of the warrior. The enemy of the primitive man in the future is a kind of orc. In the future, primitive people will call those orcs devils, and they will not dare to resist or even talk about it. There was only one book left in the ruins of the library, and that was Eliot's The Waste Land.
A race is divided into two parts, one living above ground and one living underground. The primitive man of the future knows nothing about the past, and he is at a loss for the future. In the future, after the explosion of the moon, the earth will no longer be suitable for biological survival. The underground people are divided into different classes. The surface people became the food for the underground people. The upper layers of the underground people have the ability to read minds. Time can turn people into corpses and skeletons.
Classic line: Each of us has a time machine. Memories take us back to the past; dreams take us to the future.
