Why read it?

1 author picked All Clear as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It’s too easy, in time travel fantasies, to imagine that you would feel a step above the people around you... that you alone know what’s coming, and just, in general, have your advanced-future-person perspective on the world.

They’re left lost, alone, and isolated in a well-painted portrait of a world on the edge of collapse.

From Tristan's list on science fiction books about the past.
