Our view
“The Future of Another Timeline” is a fierce feminist time-travel adventure built on an inventive idea of how such travel works. Annalee Newitz follows Tess, a geoscientist and professional traveller who secretly belongs to a group editing history in women’s favour. Readers who prefer subtlety may find it too forceful, and some feel the consequences of altering the past are passed over too lightly. It suits anyone who likes science fiction that argues.
