William Hope Hodgson's longest science fiction works involve different characters mentally projecting far into the future. Some other authors have employed similar devices. So any chronological story list is necessarily simplified.

Further, while we have a loose, broad timeline for this future history, different authors have developed it in different ways. Hence, our chronology cannot be exact.
