Grad-school dropout Matt Fuller is toiling as a lowly research assistant at MIT when, while measuring quantum relationships between gravity and light, his calibrator disappears and reappears one second later. In fact, every time Matt hits the reset button, the machine goes missing twelve times longer.

It's OK

The best aspect of this book is that it is often very funny. However, I've seen the plot of jumping through different time periods a bunch of times done better. It is especially sad that only one, maybe two, of the future time periods is explored in any detail. Also, the book is often weirdly horny?
