Travels through Time

Bob Kelley has lived through interesting times. Born in the north and moved to the south as a young person in 1955, he experienced two different societies. The Civil Rights movement, the Beat Generation, and the beginning of the Vietnam War occurred while he attended college and served in the military. His career allowed him to participate in the spread of computer technology which ushered in modern conveniences like cell phones, the Internet, and robots. This array of experiences has influenced his writing, and in Travels through Time, he presents a collection of short stories and essays. The narratives cover everything from an alien who visits Earth thousands of years from now and discovers humanity's legacy to a slave on a southern plantation in the 1700s who wakes from a nap and discovers a different world. Kelley offers a variety of tales. Some present a distilled philosophy or moral lesson, while others examine things occurring in our world today.
