The End of Eternity: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

The story is set in a world where [[Time Travel]] is highly sophisticated. A group of people known as [[The Men in Black|Eternals]] reside in a space outside of our normal reality, but linked to it via vehicles called Kettles. They recruit people from the normal timeline, and control the period from about the 25th Century to the 70,000th Century. Within this period, they are constantly making Reality Changes, which are used [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong|to erase wars and technological advances deemed contrary to the human race]]. One of the main themes is that space-travel, a staple in Asimov's other science fiction works, has been repeatedly stomped out in order to preserve the status quo and keep mankind on Earth (not out of sheer malice - but because advances in space travel always seem to coincide with increased drug use, crime etc, so these advances are undone "for the greater good".).

 

(If you're looking for the completely unrelated RPG, that's on the wiki as ''[[Resonance of Fate]]'', its English title.)

 

* [[Alternate History]]: Several different versions of history occur over the course of the book, due to the interventions of the Eternals.

* [[Always Someone Better]]: Twissel.
