Steins;Gate, a Japanese light novel and anime, includes John Titor in the story in an awesome way. It also includes some bit of hacker culture that I think is more real than the typical American movie "hacker". I recommend it!

Edit: As pointed out in the comments, this was originally a visual novel! There are many ways to enjoy this story.

How is this so high on the news feed? This is old, and not relevant.

If you count Steins;Gate (anime available on Netflix in the UK, in which Titor is important), there already is one.

Patent application, since abandoned, of his time machine: https://patents.google.com/patent/US20060073976A1/en

> A method for employing sinusoidal oscillations of electrical bombardment on the surface of one Kerr type singularity in close proximity to a second Kerr type singularity in such a method to take advantage of the Lense-Thirring effect, to simulate the effect of two point masses on nearly radial orbits in a 2+1 dimensional anti-de Sitter space resulting in creation of circular timelike geodesics conforming to the van Stockum under the Van Den Broeck modification of the Alcubierre geometry (Van Den Broeck 1999) permitting topology change from one spacelike boundary to the other in accordance with Geroch's theorem (Geroch 1967) which results in a method for the formation of G{umlaut over ( )}odel-type geodesically complete spacetime envelopes complete with closed timelike curves.

My favorite article from a "traveller,"

(submitted link as post as well, since it's really that interesting)

Strong agree.

Stiens;Gate is the only time traveller story that I know that establishes rules for time travel early on and actually sticks to these rules till the end.
