The story of temporal engineers who meta-regulate the history of humanity through the centuries, eliminating risk, adventure, and space travel in the process. One man rebels in order to save the existence of someone he loves, and in the end the time bureaucracy is destroyed for the sake of individuality and human achievement. The theme is the opposite of the Foundation stories, where the central planners and manipulators of humanity always dominate.

A masterpiece from a master

I think this is by far the best piece of SF on the time travel subject that I have ever read. The philosophical questions that it addresses, not merely about the paradoxes of time travel, but more so about the relationship between need, risk and progress, are worth the read by themselves. The excellent writing, still incredibly fresh after more than 70 years, make it a masterpiece, almost suspended in a timeless world.
