Top ten time travel books

Michael Brooks is a consultant for New Scientist and the author of 13 Things That Don't Make Sense and Can We Travel Through Time?

He named a top ten list of time travel books for the Guardian, including:
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams

In 1980, Adams wrote about a computer that could point you to the nearest restaurant. We're halfway to Adams's vision already – all we need is for Google to offer locations in time as well as space. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe is brilliantly conceived, and its take on the farce of human existence seems to become more relevant with every passing news cycle.

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe is one of Charles Yu's top ten time travel books.
