Our view
“Cronus” is a pointed, thought-provoking dystopia in which time travel has become a business for the rich. P. Djèlí Clark follows Annabeth, an employee of the company CRONUS, until visions of a history nobody else remembers make her doubt her world. Dark in its premise yet hopeful in tone, it will appeal to readers who like speculative fiction with a political edge.

About the book
The year is 2030. Annabeth works a stable job at CRONUS, a time travel company that caters to wealthy clients. Life is harsh, but she’s willing to keep her head down—until a vision of a past that never happened leads her to question everything she knows. They call it madness, but she’ll learn to call it memory.
