The stories may be dated now, but I was looking for something to listen to during my morning walk. This previously unread time travel anthology in my library served that need. Authors, many of whom are dead, wrote these short stories at the start of their careers. I think the thing that's different about old Sci-Fi is that authors didn't spend pages of text explicitly talking about pseudo-science in those days. What you read was pure fiction that left you wondering about the possibilities. ( ) Time Machines is made up of twenty-two really diverse short science fiction stories all centered on time travel or time machines.
A great anthology of one of my favorite genres of science fiction. Each story includes a brief introduction by Bill Adler, Jr. , the editor of the anthology. The following stories are included: A Shape in Time: Anthony Boucher Who's Cribbing? Jack Lewis The Business, As Usual: Mack Reynolds The Third Level: Jack Finney A Touch of Petulance: Ray Bradbury The History of Temporal Express: Wayne Freeze Star, Bright: Mark Clifton The Last Two Days of Larry Joseph's Life-In this time anyway: Bill Adler, Jr. Three Sundays in a Week: Edgar allan Poe Bad Timing: Molly Brown Night: John W. Campbell, Jr. Time Travelers Never Die: Jack McDevitt Rotating Cylinders and the Possibility of Global Causality Violation: Larry Niven What Goes Around: Derryl Murphy You See, But You Do Not Observe: Robert Sawyer Ripples in the Dirac Sea: Geoffrey A. Landis The Odyssey of Flight 33: Rod Serling Fire Watch: Connie Willis What if: Isaac Asimov There and Then: Steven Utley Wireless: Rudyard Kipling The Last Article: Harry Turtledove These stories are not necessarily the ones you'd see up for the Hugo Awards -- this isn't really a "best of" kind of anthology. However, this is exactly the reason why I enjoyed this book so much. I've already read the "best of" stories, and I was looking for something new. This book did a wonderful job of combining some of my favorite short stories in the genre with other excellent stories I'd never even heard of before. I originally purchased the book solely to get my hands on a copy of the story "Star, Bright" by Mark Clifton (one of my favorites since childhood), but thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the book as well. As an aside, I've also found these stories to be well read and enjoyed by the junior and senior high students I teach. Short stories are a great way to introduce them to the genre of science fiction!
