#2 Classics Reimagined, The Time Machine by H.G. Wells

Classics Reimagined, The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
Retold with stunning modern illustration by the studio team Ale + Ale, The Time Machine is a masterpiece of invention and storytelling from the father of science fiction, H. G. Wells.

In this unabridged classic, the time-traveling protagonist is propelled by his machine to the distant year of 802,701 AD. To his horror, he finds only a decaying Earth that is being gradually swallowed by the Sun, and where two strange species-the delicate Eloi and the fierce, subterranean Morlocks-inhabit an eerie dystopia. The Time Machine is a must-read for any science-fiction fan.

#6 All Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai

All Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai
It’s a well-written, entertaining book that puts a slightly new spin on time travel. In addition to a differing view on the mechanics of time travel (rather than the put numbers in a machine/DeLorean and immediately zap to that time), it shows the wide-ranging impacts that a single act or situation can have on one’s universe.

The main character finds purpose in his travels and accidentally tries to save a better version of himself. And it’s pretty funny and engaging – I read this book in 2 nights because I couldn’t put it down.

Shadow of Night by Deborah Hark
The second book in the All Souls trilogy, Shadow of Night transports you back to Elizabethan England with a twist: you’re experiencing it through the eyes of witches, vampires, and daemons. It’s a fast-paced fun read that you can also soon enjoy on television.

#8 Paradox Lost: The True Geometries of Time Travel by Marshall Barnes

Paradox Lost: The True Geometries of Time Travel by Marshall Barnes
If you want the truth about time travel – this is it. Written by the world’s expert, a top Quora.com writer on the subject and now privately funded, technical scientist – working to make time travel real. Having studied the subject for decades for the purpose of resolving the issues (and not just documenting them, as every other book does), this book began as a 2013 special report to select members of Congress and accurately predicted how parallel universes would be proved real and connected to time travel.

They were, via experiments which began in 2016. This book is now the primer, for what’s coming next.
