Time Slave
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Time Slave is a 1975 hybrid of historical fiction and science fiction by philosopher John Norman. In this book, 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 ecological margins. Like the Chronicles of Gor, Time Slave features solidly anti-feminist and arguably misogynistic imagery, and expresses an unexplained connection between female sexual subordination and the speeding up of the development of space travel.
