How We Know Our Time Travelers
Anita Felicelli
Wtaw Press
How We Know Our Time Travelers is a portrait of a world gone badly wrong, with humanity living on—and sometimes beyond—the edge of disaster. Each story focuses on people dealing with a climate run beyond control where civilization is breaking down or has already fallen off the cliff.
Stories range from a lesbian daring to make her feelings for her flatmate known for the first time, through a woman creating holographic images of her dead children, to the inventor of a time machine seeking to correct dangerous past mistakes.
How We Know Our Time Travelers is as far from a lighthearted summer read as you can get. Felicelli paints a literary picture of a dystopian future that is bleak and uncompromising, yet has flashes of optimism. The lack of punctuation in dialog throughout is not to everyone’s taste.
