About this listen
Locus Award Finalist!
"A revolution is happening in speculative fiction, and Annalee Newitz is leading the vanguard." (Wil Wheaton)
From Annalee Newitz, founding editor of io9, comes a story of time travel, murder, and the lengths we'll go to protect the ones we love.
This program includes a bonus interview with the author, as well as an author's note and historical material read by the author.
1992: After a confrontation at a riot grrl concert, 17-year-old Beth finds herself in a car with her friend's abusive boyfriend dead in the backseat, agreeing to help her friends hide the body. This murder sets Beth and her friends on a path of escalating violence and vengeance as they realize many other young women in the world need protecting too.
2022: Determined to use time travel to create a safer future, Tess has dedicated her life to visiting key moments in history and fighting for change. But rewriting the timeline isn’t as simple as editing one person or event. And just when Tess believes she's found a way to make an edit that actually sticks, she encounters a group of dangerous travelers bent on stopping her at any cost.
Tess and Beth’s lives intertwine as war breaks out across the timeline - a war that threatens to destroy time travel and leave only a small group of elites with the power to shape the past, present, and future. Against the vast and intricate forces of history and humanity, is it possible for a single person’s actions to echo throughout the timeline?
Praise for The Future of Another Timeline:
"An intelligent, gut-wrenching glimpse of how tiny actions, both courageous and venal, can have large consequences. Smart and profound on every level." (Publishers Weekly starred review)
"You close the book reeling with questions about your own life and your part in changing the future." (Amy Acker, actress, Angel and Person of Interest)

2019 The Guardian (UK) Best Books of the Year
2019 NYPL Book for Reading and Sharing
2019 Hudson Booksellers Best of the Year
2019 NPR Best Book of the Year
"Newitz's carefully built narrative of time travel and conflict is rooted in the drive and joys of intersectional feminism, sex positivity, and acceptance... This riot of a book will have readers delighting both in the thrilling battle over timelines in an intricate, alternative world and in the joys of inclusive feminist solidarity." (Booklist starred review)
"Where the book really shines is in its page-turning plot and thoughtfully drawn characters...the story charges along until Newitz suddenly ties it all together with breathtaking finesse. An ambitious adventure that keeps the surprises coming." (Kirkus starred review)
"[Newitz] highlights the truths of our past and possibilities of our future. The fantastical elements do not hide the all-too-real horrors women could face, but intelligence and hope are woven into every level." (Library Journal starred review)

Bad! Nothing redeeming.
Terrible! Don't waste your time. Everything about this book is disappointing from the story to the reader(audio).

Great story
I really enjoyed this; the concept was brilliant, even though in places the story was *dark*, perhaps more so with what’s happening in the US right now.

I really wanted to like this
Alternate history and time travel, what’s not to love? Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish this book.
The narration was terrible, And in fact, it was so bad that I couldn’t separate the narrator from the plot itself.
Would I have enjoyed the book with a different narrator? Would I enjoy it if I read it, rather than heard it in this particular version? I don’t know; and alas, I’m never going to find out.
