    Episode 11 - 'The Time Machine' by HG Wells: Can we survive as a species?

    Get in touch! We were delighted to have two special guests join us for this episode: Mrs. Hayden from Finance and Mr. Phillips who is our resident Adventure Sports Coordinator. In this episode we discussed the classic science fiction novella, 'The Time Machine' by HG Wells. Our discussion took us everywhere from social inequality to the future of humanity. We were forced to ask ourselves, "Are We All Doomed? And what should we do in order to ensure we continue to survive as a species?"
