Time Patrol timecycles are like improved, streamlined and mass-produced Time Machines;
the experience of time travelling is the same for Wells' Time Traveller and for Anderson's mutant time travellers;
time is a Fourth Dimension in The Time Machine and in The Corridors of Time;
there is a dark underside both in The Time Machine and in The Night Face.
For that fourth point, see:
Both Sides Now or: Dark Nights, Long Night And Night Face
- which, despite its title, omits any reference to the Long Night in Anderson's Technic History.
And now it is time to say, "Good night."
Kaor, Paul!
ReplyDeleteIt makes sense to think of Anderson as a Wellsian SF writer, but he also wrote "hard" science fiction, of the kind pioneered by Jules Verne.
