Description

Onstage at a Las Vegas convention, Elo O hAllmhurain, 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.



About the Author
Catherine Mayer is a bestselling author and award-winning journalist, the former Europe editor of TIMEmagazine and the co-founder of the Women's Equality Party and Primadonna Festival. Widowed at the start of the pandemic, she also runs the music estate of her late husband, legendary guitarist, producer and Gang of Four founder, Andy Gill. She finished and executive-produced a double album, The Problem of Leisure, that he was working on at the time of his death. Her books include Amortality: The Pleasures and Perils of Living Agelessly about the changing attitudes to age and ageing, Attack of the 50ft Women, described as 'a compelling feminist call to arms', and a memoir, Good Grief. Her biography Charles: The Heart of a King generated worldwide headlines with its claims of dysfunction in the royal courts and was a Sunday Times top-ten bestseller. She started writing Time/Life in 2019 in the back of a Gang of Four tour bus. The first draft eerily foreshadowed the loss to come. The final version makes something beautiful out of it.

Reviews

'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 Crime Wave

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
