This is an excellent collection of time travel stories, all ranging from a period in the mid-1940s to the early 1960s. It's very interesting to read about mid-century nostalgia for the turn of the century, and ruminations on how life might be in the future. The stories are well-written with a great ...
What an interesting selection.One of my coworkers is an early scifi geek, which is cool; he was telling me about this Hoffman guy. This thing has, like, Hawthorne in it. Just a neat way of looking at it.

Written in 1955, it seems so unsophisticated compared to modern sci-fi/horror---almost to the point of being laughable rather than scary. But it held my interest with the exception of a few philosophi...
Ah, the good old days without all that nasty feminism. Of course it's better to live a hundred years ago, when there wasn't pollution except from all the fires and the horse poop, and when pregnancy was quite likely to kill the girl of your dreams, if some other disease for which she's never been v...
