From the wiki page on The Time Machine
The Great Illustrated Classics in 1992 published an adaptation of Wells's novella that adds an extra destination to the Time Traveller's adventure: Stopping in 2200 AD on his way back home, he becomes caught up in a civil war between factions of a technocratic society that was established to avert ecological catastrophe.
Edit: reading about the world of unofficial Time Machine sequels is a hoot. He goes to Mars! He has adventures with Merlin! He turns into a vampire!

Hey! I actually posted this into several other places already, but I might as well try here too,
I`m looking for a solution to a weird situation:
I read "Time Machine" by H.G.Wells about 6 years ago (2015) and I was pretty confident that I have remembered the plot accurately. I reread it today and everything was exactly as I remembered EXCEPT this one episode, which was missing. I remember an episode, where the time traveller was about 200-500 years in the future and in that future time travelling was illegal. He was captured by the authorities and they asked him questions and explained that the world was divided into 4 regions and was ruled by 4 rulers, who were scientists trying to solve major problems. They wanted to take his time machine and said that they had captured other time travellers as well. However, the traveller managed to escape.
There was no such episode and I`m now super confused. Did I dream all that up or remember incorrectly? Please tell me that there`s another novel featuring that story and I`m not hallucinating.
