The End of Eternity

Isaac Asimov

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

Re-reading this for the Nth time. One of my all time science fiction favorites. It’s pretty simple, compared to some mind-bending scifi of modern time, but hell, the story, the flow, the scale, it’s just great. I’m actually not a fan of Asimov, couldn’t ever finish any of the Foundation books. So, if you had tried Asimov and it didn’t stick, try "The End of Eternity".

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
