Features: This book tells a story in the first person, not scientific history. Treat me as your guide climbing Mount Everest! This climb can be sometimes difficult and sometimes easy, but at least I can guarantee one thing: we will take the easier route. This is a well-known intellectual path, marked by some of my own milestones. Along the way, we will touch upon the works of my fellow travelers. I will discuss many of them to give you a clear understanding of the pioneers in this field. Depending on the needs of my story, some will be highlighted, while others will be mentioned briefly. To those I haven’t mentioned—though their work is equally important, but they came up the mountain via a different route—I offer my apologies in advance. We begin our journey from the expedition camp: the dream of time travel itself and H.G. Wells’ groundbreaking science fiction novel.
