War of the Worlds vs Time Machine

I have read the War of the Worlds and the Time Machine both by HG Wells and am looking for imput on the themes connecting the two. They dont have a whole lot in common but am trying to draw something from the veiw of technology or something from them. Like the advancement of technology cannot stop the progression of nature. The martians die from bacteria and the evolution of the Eloi end up leaving them as "cattle" dispite being the upper class. I dont have much to work with and would love any and all ideas
