This is the amazing account of John J. Clifton, a temporal specialist from the year 2151. Stranded in the present, Clifton contacts two New York journalists to share what he knows about the future. Clifton shares an enormous amount of intriguing information about time travel, self-resolving temporal causality, artificial and anti gravity, an alien civilization called the Luyteni, fusion power generation, and even detailed instructions on how to build a time machine. He also provides historical files about the American Conflict, a civil war that will shortly devastate the United States.
