The Psychology of Time Travel by Kate Mascarenhas


In 1967, a group of female scientists work together to build the worlds first time machine. But, as one member of the team tests the machine and loses her mind and ability to form coherent conversations, Barbra is abandoned and wiped from all records, her accomplishments and contributions disappearing from history.


Fifty years in the future, time travel has become a necessity to Ruby Rebello’s society, but knows that her Granny Bee was once apart of the time travel team that had been covered up. Ruby receives a puzzling newspaper clipping allegedly from the future publicizing the murder of an unknown woman, she becomes convinced that it’s her Granny and begins to investigate who would want her dead and more importantly – can her murder be stopped? Can you stop a killer that can come from any place and any time?

When any time travel book or movie is stripped back, its primary topic is impending danger, saving the world, or preventing the space time continuum collapsing and the world forever changing due to the butterfly effect. The Psychology of Time Travel explores many different aspects of time travel such as the underlying human condition we can't ignore and theoretically what time travel could do to a persons psyche.
