Recs if you like The Future of Another Timeline...

Here (and there and then) be time travelers!

Do you feel like you've read everything there is to read? Or get annoyed that the same books are on all the rec lists? Well, here are some more obscure masterpieces!

Some of the covers are terrible - especially among the older or self-pubbed books; there's a few YA in here; and some that are science fantasy rather than 'pure' sci fi. But trust me: they're all EXCELLENT. (And if you already love a bunch of these, let's be friends!)

Because there’s so many of these, it needed a list of it’s own ❤️🧡💖

50 books that involve time travel or parallel universes

Fiction about trying to alter the past to achieve a different outcome

Books about traveling through time and dimensions and all the crazy implications

Wait! What? If it’s not about spaceships and aliens and strange new worlds, what is sci-fi about?

It’s about what’s going on here, now, to us— just like other genres. Setting the story centuries in the future is a way for the author to view our world from a different perspective. Which is cool. But not necessary.

Here are some sci-fi and speculative fiction works set in the author’s own time. Some old, some new. Some not even sci-fi. But all will give you a new perspective on the world.

Some inherit the world as it is. These women remake it.

They begin as outcasts, dreamers, prisoners, survivors, and heirs to broken worlds. When history reaches its turning points, they step forward to shape what comes next. Whether forged by blood, sacrifice, and loss, or shaped by regret and self-discovery, they transform into queens, warriors, revolutionaries, legends, and villains. These sci-fi and fantasy stories follow women whose choices reshape kingdoms, challenge empires, defy destiny, and leave their worlds forever changed.

One of two lists exploring two forms of transformation: changing the world and changing oneself.
