Class societies and discrimination seem to be firmly linked to the genre. This thesis compares "The 100" series to "The Time Machine", focusing on the aspects of the narrative that are shaped by colonialism and imperialism. Auch in postmodernen SiFi Serien wie "The 100" oder "Snowpiercer" werden Methoden des Kolonialismus und Imperialismus angewendet, die an Klassiker wie "The Time Machine" erinnern. Klassengesellschaften und Diskriminierung scheinen fest mit dem Genre verbunden zu sein. Diese Arbeit vergleicht die Serie "The 100" mit "The Time Machine" und fokussiert sich dabei auf die Aspekte der Narration, die von Kolonialismus und Imperialismus geprägt sind.
