A good, fast paced book that tells a good story without getting dragged down with too many details or descriptions.
A fun, albeit not terribly deep, time travel story.
Clever science fiction story about a graduate student from MIT who accidentally creates/stumbles across a time machine. The catch: the time machine only goes forward. There were some really confusing things going on in the future but it was a pretty good story overall.
I kept thinking about the time-travel episode of Futurama - this was much more literate and literary! - but the travel itself (exponential leaps and all) was similar... wonder if that episode was inspired by the book (I'm pretty sure the book was published first)?

...this book put me to sleep with the first chapter.i never throw books away, but i did this one.
It's been a very long time since I read hard sci-fi. I forgot how fun it can be. Enjoyable quick read.
