A note from the editor―

I’m a big fan of Jonathan Maas’s short fiction, but if I had to choose one tale to be my favorite, it would be this one―Time Capsel.

Originally published in the collection Thylacine Dreams, this is a tale of a woman named Capsel who travels through time― not by breaking the speed of light or anything like that―but by entering a stasis pod at regular intervals.
Each entry is a one-way journey, and each time she emerges―she finds that the world is in a very different place.

We don’t know why she is doing this at first, but in vintage Jonathan Maas fashion―Capsel’s true purpose is eventually revealed, and it is quite grand indeed.
This tale holds themes of solitude, global warming and the future of humanity. It has a strong female lead, and though it is aimed at adults, it can also be read by a YA audience.

Fans of Ted Chiang will like this one, as well as readers who want a book they can read in one sitting.
So wake up with Capsel and see what the future holds for us―you will be quite surprised indeed.
