About this ebook
"Do you remember when we had the vote?"
In a world that's just a step away from our own, time travel is possible. But war is brewing - a secret group is trying to destroy women's rights, and their access to the timeline. If they succeed, only a small elite will have the power to shape the past, present, and future.
Our only hope lies with an unlikely group of allies, from riot grrls to suffragettes, their lives separated by centuries, battling for a world where anyone can change the future. A final confrontation is coming.
The Future of Another Timeline is a breathtakingly original novel from Annalee Newitz, founding editor of io9, about the lengths we'll go to make history.

Disturbing and provoking book about human rights, in particular women's rights to autonomy over what they do with their bodies. I thought the time travel and portals were beautifully done I enjoyed the retro female punk scene I particularly liked the Expo era, described so visually I felt I was there I applaud the exploration of female sexuality even though it isn't what I normally read Should definitely have Trigger Warnings for violence and sexual abuse I would have given 4 stars but introducing a diverse character (in this case a trans woman) to then kill them is such an overdone trope in sci fi I took off half a star.

amazing as always, thoughtful and love the way impossible things like time travel are really convincingly mixed in as an everyday realty.
