Teleportation in fiction

This is a list of all notable works of fiction which include teleportation in any form.

Writers of fiction have long chafed against the traditional "Aristotelean" prescription of unity of place - the concept of teleportation allows them even more freedom to defy it.

In literary terms, teleportation continues the tradition of fairy-tale technology of magically rapid transportation: the flying brass horse or seven-league boots.

Within science fiction, teleportation forms a recognizable plot-device and theme. It may be defined as the traversing of a particle or an object from one point to other without actually travelling the space between them.

An early example of scientific teleportation, i.e., non-magical or spiritual, being in the 1897 novel To Venus in Five Seconds by Fred T. Jane, where the protagonist is transported from a strange-machinery containing gazebo on Earth, to the planet Venus - hence the title.

Examples of teleportation in notable works of fiction include the following:

In this light novel, 2.3 million students have esper ability, classified from level 0 to level 5: level 0 is no ability and level 5 is the most powerful and dangerous. One of the supporting characters, Shirai Kuroko, is a teleporter; she becomes the main character in the spin-off. Her power is instant teleportation, which allows her to teleport herself and/or anything she touches under a total weight of around 130-137 kilograms to anywhere within a radius of around 81–85 meters. She is classified as Level 4. Another character, Awaki Musujime, has an ability called Move Point. Her teleportation powers are more powerful than Kuroko's, as she can teleport anything weighing up to 4,500 kg without even touching it for a distance up to 800 meters. However, due to a past trauma where she miscalculated and teleported her leg inside a wall, accidentally tearing her leg skin and muscles out from the wall and almost dying, she has a fear of using her powers on herself and feels physically ill whenever she is forced to teleport herself. This fear prevents her from becoming a Level 5.
