2019 book 118

Annalee Newitz's The Future of Another Timeline
Newitz's latest novel is a time travel story, which you know is my jam. The premise here is that at some point humans discovered weird machines embedded in the earth that allow time travel, and in the near future there are specialized fields of academia that study it. And amongst those academics are a secret group of feminists who are trying to fix the past from the meddling of a RIVAL group of male time travelers who are MISOGYNIST, and are rolling back the rights of women (I definitely wished for a little more subtlety from this novel, in general). But one of the feminists is also secretly visiting HER OWN PAST. I did like this a lot, there are some super interesting and some fun parts, but definitely wanted more from the ending. A-/B+.
