- Synopsis
- Imagine a world where whole eons will pass, cultures rise and fall, between a telephone call and its reply. Think of the human race multiplying 500-millionfold or evolving new, unique species. Consider the technology of space colonization, computer-assisted reproduction, the "Martian potato." One hundred years after H. G. Wells visited the future in "The Time Machine," Freeman Dyson marshals his uncommon gifts as a scientist and storyteller to take us once more to such worlds, which may or may not be in our future.
