When a recklessly idealistic young lady in a dystopian future society dares to test the perimeters of her firmly about Hazards of your time Travel controlled world, she actually is punished when you are sent back with time to an area of North America – ‘Wainscotia, Wisconsin’ – that existed eighty years just before. Cast adrift in time in this idyllic Midwestern city, she is established upon a span of ‘treatment’ – but she falls deeply in love with a fellow exile and begins to query the constraints of her brand-new existence, with results that are both devastating and liberating.

Arresting and visionary, Hazards of your time Travel can be an exquisitely wrought love story, a book of harrowing discovery – and an oblique but powerful response to your current political environment.
