A Nonlinear History of Time Travel

I've been planning on writing a novel based on that for about twenty years now. I've even started it a couple of times. I certainly hope someone "steals" our idea and runs with it.

Michael Crichton did it.

It's how the time machine worked in Timeline.

If I remember correctly, the company sending people back through time (really to a parallel universe) didn't even know how/why the receiving machines were appearing.

It also happened on Sliders, they visited worlds that were ahead or behind Earth Prime.

Not exactly the same idea, but Steins;Gate deals with time travel as travel between parallel universes in a similar way.
