Unrelatedly, you may enjoy Ted Chiang’s The Merchant and the Alchemist’s Gate, the short story.
The whole book is great if you like thought-provoking sci-fi premises I guess: www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/41160292

I like the idea that time machines are like phones in that you need a receiver to pick up the signal. A consequence is that you can only travel back to the time that the machine was turned on.

Wow, I did not expect to find a fellow Ted Chiang enjoyer. The Merchant and the Alchemist’s Gate is one of my favorite.
