About the Book

Onstage at a Las Vegas convention, Elo Ó hAllmhuráin, a world-famous tech magnate, demonstrates a time machine, catapulting himself and journalist Dory Silver into the distant future. Stranded and desperate to get home to her dying partner, Dory is forced to re-examine the past. TIME/LIFE is a love letter to science fiction rooted in a very real present of rising populism and the unintended consequences of technology. Above all, it is a powerful meditation on the nature of love itself.

About the Author :
Catherine Mayer is a bestselling author and award-winning journalist, the former Europe editor of TIMEmagazine and the co-founder of the Women’s Equality Party and Primadonna Festival. Widowed at the start of the pandemic, she also runs the music estate of her late husband, legendary guitarist, producer and Gang of Four founder, Andy Gill. She finished and executive-produced a double album, The Problem of Leisure, that he was working on at the time of his death. Her books include Amortality: The Pleasures and Perils of Living Agelessly about the changing attitudes to age and ageing, Attack of the 50ft Women, described as ‘a compelling feminist call to arms’, and a memoir, Good Grief. Her biography Charles: The Heart of a King generated worldwide headlines with its claims of dysfunction in the royal courts and was a Sunday Times top-ten bestseller. She started writing Time/Life in 2019 in the back of a Gang of Four tour bus. The first draft eerily foreshadowed the loss to come. The final version makes something beautiful out of it.

Review :
'Breathtaking, heartbreaking and also full of love and hope, what a journey this book takes us on – with love, time travel and a toxic tech magnate.’ 'Mayer’s genre-bending riff on H.G. Wells is as clever as it is poignant. A dark and sharply contemporary pleasure.' 'Multiplexly brilliant, intricately fascinating, harrowingly emotional fiction, sprung from this century’s first and possibly final quarter.' 'Intriguing, enchanting, soulful… a book of timeless beauty.' 'Timely and utterly compelling, breaks your heart then makes you laugh.' 'Catherine Mayer’s unique and prescient TIME/LIFE playfully repurposes H.G. Wells’s The Time Machine for the post-truth generation, creating and recreating worlds like a computer game. Yet it is also a devastating meditation on grief and the ephemeral quality of time. It might make you cry but it will also make you laugh.' 'Mayer’s reimagining of H.G. Wells’ Time Machine is a profoundly moving exploration of loss and love. TIME/LIFE delivers a wild blend of unreality with chilling elements that are all too real.'
