Lately I've been reading a few Science Fiction short stories; specifically Asimov's "The ugly little boy" & Alfred Bester's "The men who killed Mohammed".

Both were very good, and both reminded me of why I was a fan of The Outer Limits a long time ago, though since have not viewed any. (Bester's work I loved more - for the record)

Both of these short stories deal with time travel, a subject I'm interested in and would like to learn more about. I specifically like Chaos Theory, like Ray Bradbury's short story "A Sound of Thunder" dealt with, which inspired the film "The Butterfly Effect". (Bester's "The men who killed Mohammed" also talks about chaos theory a little)

Although it's not a work of fiction, I'm thinking about trying Paul Davies book "About time", has anybody read this book, and would they recommend it?

Any other suggestions or discussion is appreciated.

Cheers.

I forgot the name of the article, but a philosopher named David Lewis gave a great account of time travel that I think makes the most sense of any explanation of what it would involve. Google it.
