时间旅行简史

James Gleick delivers a mind-bending exploration of time travelfrom its origins in literature and science to its influence on our understanding of time itself. Gleick vividly explores physics, technology, philosophy, and art as each relates to time travel and tells the story of the concept's cultural evolutionsfrom H.G. Wells to Doctor Who, from Proust to Woody Allen. He takes a close look at the porous boundary between science fiction and modern physics, and, finally, delves into what it all means in our own moment in timethe world of the instantaneous, with its all-consuming present and vanishing future.
