Onstage at a Las Vegas convention, Elo Ó hAllmhuráin, a world-famous 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.
'Catherine Mayer’s unique and prescient Time/Life playfully repurposes H.G. Wells’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 Queen’s Gambit (made into the movie Firebrand)'Mayer’s reimagining of H.G. Wells’ 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 CrimeISBN: 9781804471418
