Jon Ronson's "The Butterfly Effect" covers this quite well. It's free on iTunes and quite an entertaining listen.

If you want to hear a little more on this, and other aspects of the porn industry, and the effect that PornHub has had, then check out The Butterfly Effect podcast by Jon Ronson, the journalist who wrote this article. It's free to Audible subscribers at the moment. http://www.jonronson.com/butterfly.html

I generally think of time travel fiction as a means to explore and develop "what if" type thinking for purposes of enhanced decision making. So I tend to cut them some slack for their myriad shortcomings. I find them useful for developing pragmatic mental models.

I liked The Butterfly Effect. I also like A sound of thunder wherein the death of a moth alters the future.
