Needle in a Timestack

by Robert Silverberg

Nick Mikklesen and his wife Janine know that Janine’s ex-husband is out to break up their marriage by altering the past.
In the old days, when time was just a linear flow from then to now, did anyone get bored with all that stability? For better or for worse it was different now. You go to bed a Dartmouth man and wake up Columbia, never the wiser. You board a plane that blows up over Cyprus, but then your insurance agent goes back and gets you to miss the flight.
