Time Travel and Nothing But Time Travel: Twisting Time, Warping Minds: Classic Sci-Fi Journeys Across the Decades
(Reklamlänk)
This collection brings together sixteen classic lost science-fiction short stories from the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, all centered on humanity’s most dangerous obsession: the ability to move through time.
These stories explore time not as a convenience, but as a trap. A single step into the past can erase a lifetime. A glimpse of the future can destroy the present. Memory, identity, causality, and free will are all put on trial as ordinary people, reluctant travelers, and brilliant meddlers discover that time resists being touched—and punishes those who try.
From paradoxes and closed loops to bureaucratic futures, fractured realities, and histories that refuse to stay fixed, these tales represent the golden age of speculative fiction at its sharpest and most imaginative. Featuring multiple stories by Philip K. Dick, along with classics by Frederik Pohl, Fritz Leiber, Damon Knight, Fredric Brown, and others, this collection delivers thought-provoking ideas, dark irony, and unforgettable twists.
