Fiction /Sci-Fi After thousands of years of atomic warfare, the Antons on planet Ergo had mutated so badly that they were no longer recognizable as human. They escape to planet Duos in Galaxy 3 and establish a new civilization. However, they want to restore their bodies, so they search the universe and find what they are looking for on planet Earth. The Antons place a time-travel device in the hands of Gus Wilder, an American engineer of the twenty-first century, hoping he will serve as their emissary in dealing with earthlings of the thirty-first century. They influence Gus to travel a thousand years into the future where he finds an advanced society who have, by overcoming every human frailty and providing for every need, created a paradise on earth. These people of the thirty-first century live long into the future and strive for immortality. Gus meets and falls in love with Jan-3, an incredibly beautiful woman of the thirty-first century. The Antons tell him why he was chosen and, if he fails, they will destroy planet Earth. Together Gus and Jan-3 set out to save humanity. Can they fulfill their destiny?

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s leading physicists and author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Elegant Universe, comes “an astonishing ride” through the universe (The New York Times) that makes us look at reality in a completely different way. Space and time form the very fabric of the cosmos. Yet they remain among the most mysterious of concepts. Is space an entity? Why does time have a direction? Could the universe exist without space and time? Can we travel to the past? Greene has set himself a daunting task: to explain non-intuitive, mathematical concepts like String Theory, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and Inflationary Cosmology with analogies drawn from common experience. From Newton’s unchanging realm in which space and time are absolute, to Einstein’s fluid conception of spacetime, to quantum mechanics’ entangled arena where vastly distant objects can instantaneously coordinate their behavior, Greene takes us all, regardless of our scientific backgrounds, on an irresistible and revelatory journey to the new layers of reality that modern physics has discovered lying just beneath the surface of our everyday world.
