The Accidental Time Machine


The Accidental Time Machine by Joe Haldeman
2007

A bit like "Back to the Future" and its successors, but more thought-provoking.
Matt Fullar is working at MIT when he discovers that he has created a time machine. With the help of a turtle he discovers that he can send it into the future and then wait for it to reappear. Then he sends himself into the future, and the story develops as he experiences different future worlds.
In one future, MIT is an institute of Theosophy instead of Technology!
And ultimately, Matt meets a Very Important Person who helps him to understand life and find happiness!
Physics enthusiasts may enjoy this book.
