Descripción de James Gleick reads from ‘Time Travel’

Listen to an exploration of time travel ‘s subversive origins, its evolution in literature and science, and its influence on our understanding of time itself with the author of the groundbreaking bestseller “Chaos.” Author James Gleick's story begins at the turn of the 20th century with the young H. G. Wells writing and rewriting the fantastic tale that became his first book, an international sensation, “The Time Machine.” A host of forces were converging to transmute the human understanding of time, some philosophical and some technological—the electric telegraph, the steam railroad, the discovery of buried civilizations and the perfection of clocks. -- Gleick tracks the evolution of time travel as an idea in the culture—from Marcel Proust to “Doctor Who,” from Woody Allen to Jorge Luis Borges. He explores the inevitable looping paradoxes and examines the porous boundary between pulp fiction and modern physics. Finally, he delves into a temporal shift that is unsettling our own moment: the instantaneous wired world, with its all-consuming present and vanishing future. -- A review of “Time Travel” in Kirkus Reviews says: “From Wells to Schrödinger to Twitter, [Gleick] doesn’t miss a beat, and he imparts a wry appreciation for humorous detail, making him one of the most enjoyable science writers in the field.” You won’t want to miss this informative, entertaining look at time travel. -- James Gleick’s books include three Pulitzer Prize finalists “Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman,” “Isaac Newton” and “Chaos: Making a New Science” (also a National Book Award finalist), as well as “The Information,” "What Just Happened” and "Faster." He was the first editor of the Best American Science Writing series.
