Five stars: The Other Valley by Scott Alexander Howard (2024) is a debut speculative fiction thought exercise on the ethics of time travel. Odile is at the age when she has to think about her future career. She decides to try for the Conseil, the governing body of the valley that keeps people from traveling to other valleys unsupervised.
Five stars: A Quantum Love Story by Mike Chen (2024) begins with the explosion of a particle accelerator somewhere near San Francisco in the near future. Carter is a technician at Hawke, and although this is our first time through the loop, he knows what to expect. He's been tracking it in notebooks, although the notebooks reset every time but the act of writing it down helps him remember. This time, though, he decides to take a different path, and he runs into Mariana Pinada, setting in motion something that will eventually save the world.
Once again, the 33-year-old superstar #KimTaeRi (#김태리) displayed her acting versatility in #Alienoid2 (#외계인2부). No matter what genre, role, or gap between her projects, her acting is diamond level!

It's the weekend! Who's going on a trip?
Be sure to update your maps.
Be absolutely sure your maps are dated before traveling back in time. If you're going to the future, just go with the flow, like the rest of us. Once the A.I.s figure it out, they'll badly autocorrect your route or dump you in their virtual hallucinations.
But, were not Discovery's computers upgraded to Quantum computers? So, it should have a capability to communicate using quantum entanglement and not subspace?

I don't know if it's my favorite, but I read The Green Futures of Tycho as a kid and it was probably the first book that made me consider "change the future" time travel stories might actually be kind of a horror genre. William Sleator's stuff tended to be a mildly unsettling for the tween audience it seemed aimed at. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Futures_of_Tycho
