<< the end of Eternity >>

Inadvertently found this book in the Watercress, is written by Asimov, for his base series and the Galactic Empire series of admiration for a long time, but because too long to see. The end of this << eternity >> the length is not very long, also took over to see.

The story is like this. In 24th century, a scientist named Malanson invented something called the "Space force field," something that was too advanced, and people mastered it three centuries later, in 27th century, to create something magical----"eternal space". The Eternal Man is called Eternal, Such people are free to travel through time and space. So they can change the direction of the whole human being by changing something in a general time and space. Only one purpose for the well-being of mankind. By collecting the basic information of the current century, they enter computer arrays to simulate human evolution. Thus finding a "safest path of human evolution". The entire eternal space is a hierarchy (division of labor) is clear, the system of sound place, everything to the purpose of the orderly progress. Until the protagonist, Harlan's appearance. Harlan was a very intelligent man who believed in science and believed in his true feelings, not on the rules and rhetoric, but also on primitive societies ( The culture of the existence of eternal space and time. Harlan in an observation mission "occasionally" to know the general space and time in the NOI, in the face of the embrace of Noi, Harlan had a relationship with him. Sex in general time and space is not a big mistake in itself. But in the face of both psychological and physical happiness, Harlan is expanding this error, It's going to get out of hand. At the same time that he could be punished at any time, he found a big secret. The inventor of the space-time force Malanson is coming from the future! and a friend of his own. According to Malanson's log, Malanson is coming from the future. It also mentions Harlan. That's a causal chain, And now the purpose of the whole eternity is to close the chain of causality! He is a very important link in the whole chain. It is not that, as long as he does not follow the Malanson log, then the causal chain will not be closed, the eternal space will not be produced. But soon he found a new, bigger secret, Noi is the gap from the future human beings. The view of the future is that their timeless behavior, while helping people to avoid the disaster, has also deprived humanity of the opportunity to evolve. You can only improve if you face the difficulties and solve the difficulties. And what eternal space does is to help people escape from difficulties, Eventually led to the extinction of the human race! Harlan looked at Noi said so reasonable, also gave up the eternal space and time, and Enoch had a normal day.

I used to think in high school, Einstein so smart, so ahead, is not from the future, is not received by the future of what inspiration? and a lot of people, I also "think". and Asimov can write him out and write it so well. The whole story is very complete in science and technology, For the sake of the story, even create a lot of very real concept, give you feel as if he is true. The reason the authors want to illustrate is that we are suffering and we are progressing. If human beings become comfortable, progress will cease, and the ultimate fate is the end of other species! Born of sorrow, died of mercy.

However, from the perspective of a novel to see the whole story is not perfect, and even a lot of flaws, and the love is also written very bad.
