NEW - What If the Future Is Already Fixed?
Update: 2025-12-13
Description
Time travel stories aren’t really about machines — they’re about regret, possibility, and what we’d risk to rewrite our lives. In this episode, Robert J. Sawyer joins Shane Hewitt to unpack the deeper psychology behind time travel fiction and why it resonates so deeply.
From The Time Machine to FlashForward, Sawyer explores how time stories let us speak uncomfortable truths, imagine alternate paths, and prepare for what we can’t undo. Plus: why he’d rather know when he dies than fix a mistake, the butterfly effect in real life, and the one novel that best introduces his work.
