My pick would have to be the A Whole Nother Story trilogy, in which (spoiler warning) you can only travel back in time. But because time is in a loop of sorts, if you go before the beginning of time, you will be at the end of time. From there you can go back to any time you want to. And time paradoxes cannot be produced. Plus, your memories from the previous timeline exist as well as the memories from the new one.

    Recursion by Blake Crouch

    Ted Chiang’s short story that another poster mentioned is great.

      Recursion was fucking bananas in the best way.

      Some people create a mechanism and tiptoe it to an interesting story. Blake Crouch jumped on and gunned that sucker over a cliff and it was great all the way down.

      Just finished Recursion last night. Man what a trip. The writing especially in the last 1/4 or so of the book was just beautiful, completely draws you in and is filled with emotion
