Although Tom admits there were still moral, emotional, and ontological problems, people had plenty of time to work on them. So there's plenty of time for people to improve themselves and the things around them. Solar, wind, and hydropower become "quaint low-fidelity alternatives." Enormous problems like pollution and climate change vanish. When you have a clean machine like the Goettreider Engine, there's no need for dangerous nuclear power or murky coal- or oil-powered energy solutions. The engine, actually a generator, "harnesses the constant rotation of the planet to create boundless energy." In that world, Lionel Goettreider invented the future on July 11, 1965, Tom says, when he created the so-called Goettreider Engine. An only child and a likable screw-up, Tom's been a remarkable failure, even though his world offers tremendous opportunity. ![]()
