From Little Stack
The Future of Another Timeline goes punk rock with its use of time travel—literally. One of the characters, Beth, is a teenager in 1992 California caught up in the punk rock scene, who finds herself drawn into a time travel war between women’s activists and Comstockers, men attempting to create their own patriarchal utopia.
It’s a fascinating exploration of mankind’s need for resistance and activism, and a journey of identity and belonging. More sobering is its very clear depiction of just how quickly society can devolve or lose ground if people don’t stand up and protect the rights they hold dear.
A revolution is happening in speculative fiction, and Annalee Newitz is leading the vanguard.
From Annalee Newitz, founding editor of io9, comes a story of time travel, murder, and the lengths we'll go to protect the ones we love.
1992: After a confrontation at a riot grrl concert, seventeen-year-old Beth finds herself in a car with her friend's abusive boyfriend dead in the backseat, agreeing to help her friends hide the body. This murder sets Beth and her friends on a path of escalating violence and vengeance as they realize many other young women in the world need protecting too.
2022: Determined to use time travel to create a safer future, Tess has dedicated her life to visiting key moments in history and fighting for change. But rewriting the timeline isn't as simple as editing one person or event. And just when Tess believes she's found a way to make an edit that actually sticks, she encounters a group of dangerous travelers bent on stopping her at any cost.
Tess and Beth's lives intertwine as war breaks out across the timeline--a war that threatens to destroy time travel and leave only a small group of elites with the power to shape the past, present, and future. Against the vast and intricate forces of history and humanity, is it possible for a single person's actions to echo throughout the timeline?
