Hazards of Time Travel is a 2018 dystopian, social science fiction novel by Joyce Carol Oates. It tells the story of Adriane Strohl, a 17-year-old living in a dystopian America in 2039.

Reception
The Guardian described Hazards of Time Travel as an "unrelentingly disturbing read", praising the author's ability to write convincingly about "the pervasive misery of living in fear", but also remarking that the book "appears skeletal, super-intelligent, yet somehow depleted. It seems to have been written in an abbreviated rush." The review in The New York Times notes "the novel’s underdescribed future, with its hints at totalitarian politics, doesn’t play to Oates’s strengths as a nostalgia artist."
