Wellington author Tim Corballis imagines a very different 1975 to how we remember it in his new novel Our Future is in the Air. Glimpses into the future, events like 9/11, sees jet air travel and time travel banned. But many New Zealanders are feeling isolated and frustrated and protest movements are growing. It's still possible to travel a few decades into the future, but it's risky. Someone unable to resist the lure of time travel has disappeared and his friends are trying to find him.
