Mr Wells has a time machine that allows him to travel backwards into the past. Alice giggled. That's very funny, Mr Darwin. It sounds like something Mr Dodgson might dream up in one of his fairy tales. -- Here, a fourteen-year-old Alice, an apprentice to Charles Darwin, meets Mr Wells who arrives from the end of the century to discuss some urgent and disturbing issues related to Alice's Adventures with its alleged author, as well as illustrious scholars of past, present, and future. -- We should not wait for a future shock-wave that would pollute our time, pushing its fear and madness back against the flow of the River Times! We will try to steer the Ship of History, which seems to be going nowhere.... Time seems to be seriously out of joint--and if we wish to set it right, let us make plans to save the world! -- This book is dedicated to the 150th anniversary of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the 150th birthday of H. G. Wells.
