"Time travel is an element of storytelling that offers potentially limitless possibilities, allowing writers to explore politics, romance, warfare, discovery, and more in ways we might never expect.
Since 1895, with the publication of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine (below), time travel stories in modern fiction have inspired and captivated readers around the world.
It isn't only the genre of science fiction that utilises time travel, however. Many of the best time travel books are love stories, crime thrillers, and even fantasy novels."
