J's Pages

by Robert A. HeinleinThis one's a time travel tale from 1956 that somehow I have never managed to read until now. It's set in the future, 1970. Dan Davis is an engineer who gets done wrong by his fiancée and his business partner. Through a series of events he ends up traveling to the future... via suspended animation. He awakes 30 years later in the future future, 2000 A.D. (This was before C.E. became the accepted nomenclature.) As Dan explores his new reality, he comes up with a plan to get his revenge. All in all it was a good read. What I found most enjoyable was reading Mr. Heinlein's vision of the futures that are now about 20 and 50 years in the past. But the story kept my attention as well. If you don't mind a bit of 1950s worldview, go ahead and check it out.
