Outside of science it would be an interesting pedagogic tool for many people. There is a tendency to imagine that people in the past saw the world much the same as we do. The expression "the past is a foreign country" resonates because we can empathise at some level that things were different, but we can't visit that country. "Talking" to a denizen of London in 1910 regarding world affairs, gender equality, economic opportunities, etc would be very interesting. Even if it can never be entirely accurate I think it would be enlightening.
