Brilliant story of a young man, his girlfriend, and a professor attempting to "right" two events in the past that speak serious disaster for the quality of human life in the future. Incredibly insightful and philosophical without getting bogged down in the mechanical jargon of time-travel physics. Excellent story that touches on the social ramifications of presenting a concept like time travel to the world.
Update: nine years later and I still recall this book so clearly. Why hasn't this received the popularity it's due? It's so much better than most time travel books.
