    Time Travel (2016) takes us on a journey through the history of time travel, inviting us to explore the origin of the concept, its developments through the years, and its impact on our lives today. 

     

    Exploring the history of time travel through its conceptual origin in the nineteenth century to its present connections with science, technology, and the human brain, James Gleick unpacks the intricacies of a concept that has fascinated humanity for over 150 years. Encouraging readers to consider the future possibilities of time travel along with its implications for the present, Gleick makes astounding connections that show us how our brains, our phones, and our imaginations can also be agents of time travel.

      Actually, There Is a Time Like the Present
