Doomsday Book is a 1992 science fiction novel by American author Connie Willis. The novel won both the Hugo[1] and Nebula[2] Awards, and was shortlisted for other awards.[3] The title of the book refers to the Domesday Book of 1086. Kivrin Engle, the main character, says that her recording is "a record of life in the Middle Ages, which is what William the Conqueror's survey turned out to be."[4]
The novel is the first in a series about Oxford time-traveling historians, which includes To Say Nothing of the Dog (1998) and Blackout/All Clear (2010).
