The emergence of time-travel novels can be traced back to the early 20th century, but it is difficult to determine the first author who wrote a time-travel novel. Here are a few possible examples: 1 William gibson was an Australia who started writing science fiction in the 1970s, including stories about time travel such as The Time Machine and The Burbs. 2 George R R Martin was an American whose A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels included some plots about time travel, such as "The Dragon Mother's Time Travel" in the eighth volume of Game of Thrones. Stephen King is a canadian whose novels also include time-travel plots such as The Shining and The Flowers in the Mirror. The emergence of time-travel novels could be traced back to the early 20th century, but the works of these authors were not consistent. Some only borrowed some elements from science fiction, while others began to explore more in-depth concepts of time and space.
