''The End of Eternity'' is a science fiction book by [[Isaac Asimov]].
The story is set in a world where [[Time Travel
Eternals are comprised of several groups - Sociologists, Technicians, Life-Plotters and Computers<ref>"Computer" in this novel has its original meaning, "person employed to do computations". Electronic devices built to do computations are called Summators or computaplexes.</ref> are mentioned, in addition, there are also Maintenance people. Sociologists accumulate data and analyze it for possible Reality Changes. Computers narrow down when and where the Reality Change takes place, and the Technicians pinpoint and make the Reality Changes themselves. Because of this, Technicians are highly revered, yet feared. They are also supposed to suppress all emotion because of the nature of their job, and thus rarely find love.

* [[The Time Traveller's Dilemma]]: The whole point of the book.
* [[Title Drop]]
* [[We Will Not Have Appendixes in
* [[Wham! Episode]]: As is probably implied by the amount of spoiler tags on this page, the twist ending is one hell of a twist ending.
* [[You Will Be Beethoven]]: Tied to the invention of the time machine.
