This is one of my favorite novels by Isaac Asimov, and I think underrated among his works, perhaps because it's a one-off, not something that ties into his Foundation or Robot series.

Pakko olla rehellinen tämän kirjan kohdalla. Olisin halunnut antaa tälle viisi tähteä, koska Asimov, mutta en pystynyt.

Some writers depict it as being nearly impossible to change the past (Alfred Bester's "The Men Who Murdered Mohammed"), or that...

I don't know whether I began reading Asimov's nonfiction or fiction works first. I do know that I wrote a fan letter to him and actually got a reply back. Granted, it was a form-letter postcard but it was still pretty "cool" that I was "corresponding" with an actual author.I was also very selective ...

If you haven't read Asimov's SF classic, it's one of those time-travel stories where you can change the past. The people with the time machines are a shadowy, infinitely powerful organisation called the Eternals. They flit around in time, changing things "for the good of humanity". Except that, as I...
