  • 'He felt his head swim as he tried to resolve the paradox. Gregor wouldn't because he hadn't. He hadn't because he couldn't. He couldn't because ...?'

    The threads of time run forward, backward, round in circles and side by side in this new anthology of stories from the Golden Age of science fiction. How can you comprehend a newspaper whose current events cover the distant future? How do you escape from a day at the office which cycles, cruelly, endlessly? How do you prevent monks from the future smuggling their revolutionary miracle food into the past?

    Charting the chronology of the time travel narrative from the 1880s to the late 1950s, classic tales of trips to the past and their consequences run alongside rare experimental and mind-bending pieces, with paradoxes, philosophical dilemmas and every perplexing strange of tiem travel unravelled in between.


    Mike Ashley is the author and editor of more than one hundred books, and is one of the foremost historians of popular fictio. His British Library Science Fiction Classics anthologies include Moonrise: The Golden Age of the Lunar Adventures and Menace of the Machine: The Rise of AI in Classics Science Fiction.
