Anniversary Project

by Joe Haldeman

One million years after the invention of writing, Three-Phasing (nominally male) brings a 20th century man and his wife forward in time to teach the ancestors of man how to read.
“Pleasta Meetcha, Bob. Likewise, Sarah. Call me, uh. . .“ The only twentieth-century language in which Three-phasing’s name makes sense is propositional calculus. “ George. George Boole.”
DEBUT
“Anniversary Project,” in Analog, October 1975.
