Time Slave

From Free net encyclopedia

Time Slave is a 1975 hybrid of historical fiction and science fiction by reactionary philosopher John Norman. In it, Norman presents his personal theories of human evolution, exemplified by the case of a modern woman sent back in time twenty thousand years or more; he mourns the loss of human evolutionary fitness and distortion of "natural" social relations which in his view occurred when farming spread, and farmers squeezed hunter/gatherers to the margins. Like the Chronicles of Gor, Time Slave features solidly anti-feminist and arguably misogynistic imagery (and expresses an apparently deeply felt, but not too clearly explained, connection between female sexual subordination and the speeding up of the development of space travel).
