This audiobook contains a broad overview of time travel in science fiction, along with a detailed examination of the philosophical implications of time travel. The emphasis of this book is now on the philosophical and on science fiction, rather than on physics, as in the author’s earlier books on the subject. In that spirit there are, for example, no tech notes filled with algebra, integrals, and differential equations, as there are in the first and second editions of Time Machines.

H.G. Wells' classic science fiction-fantasy story, in which a scientist known only as “The Time Traveller” tells the tale of his journey to the year 802,701 A.D. and beyond, where he witnesses the end of human civilization as we know it, as well as the beginning of the end of the world. This original time-travel story has been copied many times, but never improved upon. (Summary by Mark Nelson)

This 50th anniversary edition of Men, Machines, and Modern Times, though ultimately concerned with a positive alternative to an Orwellian 1984, offers an entertaining series of historical accounts taken from the 19th century to highlight a main theme: the nature of technological change, the fission brought about in society by such change, and society's reaction to that change.

Step into a haunting vision of our future as envisioned by H.G. Wells. In this iconic tale, an unnamed scientist from the 1800s invents a time machine that propels him into a distant future where humanity has diverged into two startlingly distinct branches, each horrifyingly reliant on the other. This chilling narrative reflects the stark divisions of society—much like those of Wells own time—between the privileged and the oppressed. Join us as we explore the unsettling consequences of this societal split. - Summary by phil chenevert

In this prize-winning essay for the 2021 Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies essay contest, Dr. Ruickbie examines the evidence for the survival of consciousness after death (“life after death”). Initially skeptical, he found that there was sufficient evidence from a wide variety of sources, including apparitions, reincarnation, near-death experiences, after-death communication, and premonitions, that met the contest’s criteria of being “beyond reasonable doubt.”

In 1998 rogue scientists developed and built a working time machine. During their travels they were lost to time and the machine all but forgotten. In 2020 a group of pop culture enthusiasts inadvertently stumbled upon this device at a swap meet, but instead of using it to eradicate disease or produce world peace, they use it to stumble around in the past and inevitably mess things up. These "heroes" call themselves...The Tanglers.
