Electronics engineer Dan Davis has finally made the invention of a lifetime: a household robot with extraordinary abilities, destined to dramatically change the landscape of everyday routine. Then, with wild success just within reach, Dan's greedy partner and greedier fiancée trick him into taking the long sleep--suspended animation for thirty years. They never imagine that the future time in which Dan will awaken has mastered time travel, giving him a way to get back to them--and at them .

Review of 'The Door into Summer' on 'Storygraph'

Definitely a recommended read! I didn't realize when it was written until I checked the copyright date. Even then, it still shocks me. It's not "50s writing" by any means, and it holds up interestingly well today. It's still a "past future," but one that is charmingly realistic instead of anachronisticly twee. Plus, it follows all of its own rules. I found myself stopping now and then to either laugh at the humor or think about an implication. Check this one out; it's a short yet fantastic read that won't bore you for a second.
