Characters in the story don't physically travel through time like in The Terminator, but they have some sort of precognition via information being passed from the future via some unexplained mechanism.
So yes, it is a time travel story, information being relayed to you from the future is information traveling through time.
- RobertoG 10y agoBut it's a time travel story if you can't act in the information and the information have been always there? I suppose that we could say that the point of the story is to show that time is not what we though.

- cocktailpeanuts 10y agoIt's all word play and there's no meaning in debating about a concept which itself has multiple interpretations. You're saying it's "travel" because information travels through time. But a lot of other people relate "Travel" with humans, meaning it's the human that travels through time. In fact, most people when they hear about "travel" think of human as its subject, not non-human objects like information. If you stretch it that far, basically any story with flashbacks is time travel, because information travels to present from the past.
