Reseña: Best Books of 2016 BOSTON GLOBE * THE ATLANTIC From the acclaimed bestselling author of The Information and Chaos comes this enthralling history of time travel--a concept that has preoccupied physicists and storytellers over the course of the last century. James Gleick delivers a mind-bending exploration of time travel--from its origins in literature and science to its influence on our understanding of time itself. Gleick vividly explores physics technology philosophy and art as each relates to time travel and tells the story of the concepts cultural evolutions--from H.G. Wells to Doctor Who from Proust to Woody Allen. He takes a close look at the porous boundary between science fiction and modern physics and finally delves into what it all means in our own moment in time--the world of the instantaneous with its all-consuming present and vanishing future.
