## Review Date #note/sourcereview/book | #source/book📚/fiction ## What is the story The UK government has found a time portal machine and has brought people forward in time as refugees in a secret ministry (*M.I.*), the Ministry of Time. The protagonist is a "bridge" for the time refugee Graham Gore who comes to them from a failed Arctic excursion. She helps him adjust to modern life, while they fall in love and try to navigate the challenges of being in a secret government agency, not all of whom agree with the project. ## What else do I wonder about? The story raises a number of great questions for me, most importantly: aren't we all members of a system of time travel? Since the future is coming at us, with the spinning of the globe, and the changing of each season, isn't time traveling under our feet already? How do we adjust to that changing environment? How do we live passionately for the moment, adjust to the changes in a quasi-healthy ways, and control what the world allows us to control? ## Action Think with balance about the changes of the world. ## When do I want to stumble across this? #on/time ## Source: Bradley, K.
