A Tale of Two Cities was a science fiction novel written by George Welles in 1899. It was one of Welles 'masterpieces. The novel mainly talked about the future world where human technology had developed to a high level, where humans could freely travel between two cities and carry out various activities. However, with the development of science and technology, these two cities became more and more dangerous. When humans traveled between these cities, they would forget their past and present, causing the passage of time to accelerate. The balance between the two cities was broken, causing a series of events. In the novel, humans created a tool that could control time machines, allowing them to go back to the past and change history, but they also found that they could not go back because they could not tell what was real history and what was fictional history. Through an imaginative sci-fi story, the novel explored human understanding of time, the impact of technology on human society, and the contradictions and struggles of human hearts.
