Time walking is fun but it seems odd that memories are portrayed as being truthful rather than individual perceptions of our shared experience.

Very clever distillation of history: “ Even if we can’t erase the event itself, we can change the way people remember it. So they remember the right version.“

Clunky

There is a twinge of justice here. The United States as a whole is portrayed as potentially dangerous but individual Americans are heroic and true.

How unoriginal: NAZI’s are the epitome of Evil, Americans are good guys, Russians are lobotomized villains. The time keepers have access to nearly all of human history and their understanding of it could have been gleaned from my middle school history book from 30-years ago.

Nice start!
