The world he encounters is a dystopian one, filled with chaos and destruction. The Traveler witnesses the rise of powerful dictators and the collapse of entire civilizations. He also discovers that humanity has been divided into two groups: the Eloi, who are peaceful and subservient, and the Morlocks, who are violent and primitive.
