- “(Now + n, Now - n)” by Robert Silverberg, in Nova 2, edited by Harry Harrison (Walker, October 1972).
Investor Aram Kevorkian has the unique advantage that he can communicate with himself 48 hours yore and 48 hours hence, until he falls in love with Selene who dampens his psychic powers and his trading profits.
“Go ahead, (now + n),” he tells me. ((To him I am (now + n). To myself I am (now). Everything is relative; n is exactly forty-eight hours these days.))
