| book description |

'Intriguing, enchanting, soulful â€¦ A book of timeless beauty' Elif Shafak 'Multiplexly brilliant, intricately fascinating, harrowingly emotional fiction, sprung from this centuryâ€™s first and possibly final quarter' William Gibson, author of Neuromancer 'Mayerâ€™s reimagining of H.G. Wellsâ€™ Time Machine is a profoundly moving exploration of loss and love. Time/Life delivers a wild blend of unreality with chilling elements that are all too real' Bee Rowlatt, author of In Search of Mary and One Woman Crime Wave 'Mayerâ€™s genre-bending riff on H.G. Wells is as clever as it is poignant. A dark and sharply contemporary pleasure' Luke Jennings, author of the Villanelle series (the basis for Killing Eve) 'Catherine Mayerâ€™s unique and prescient Time/Life playfully repurposes H.G. Wellsâ€™s The Time Machine for the post-truth generation, creating and recreating worlds like a computer game. Yet it is also a devastating meditation on grief and the ephemeral quality of time. It might make you cry but it will also make you laugh' Elizabeth Fremantle, bestselling author of Queenâ€™s Gambit (made into the movie Firebrand) * * * * Onstage at a Las Vegas convention, Elo Ã“ hAllmhurÃ¡in, a worldfamous tech magnate, demonstrates a time machine, catapulting himself and journalist Dory Silver into the distant future. Stranded and desperate to get home to her dying partner, Dory is forced to re-examine the past. Time/Life is a love letter to science fiction rooted in a very real present of rising populism and the unintended consequences of technology. Above all, it is a powerful meditation on the nature of love itself. * * * * Praise for Catherine Mayer 'Beautiful, incredibly moving and unexpectedly comforting' Marian Keyes â€˜Breathtaking, heartbreaking and also full of love and hope, what a journey this book takes us on â€“ with love, time travel and a toxic tech magnateâ€™ Sandi Toksvig
