Hoch was a mystery and detective story writer who sent two stories to the Crime
Prevention anthology, so this one was published under his Dentinger pseudonym. In the
story, a modern-day detective is sent forward to the year 2259 so he can bring back future
crime fighting methods, but what he finds is rather less than impressive.
I understand that it can transport me three hundred years in the future to study
techniques of crime prevention and law enforcement.
