    About this ebook

    A doctor, a banker, a professor and a man of nefarious origins gather together in the house of a scientist over dinner. The scientist's big announcement? He's invented a time machine that will send his essence into the future. After a successful five-minute test, the scientist executes his greatest feat: a trip to a future over one hundred years into the future. Once in the future, the scientist is introduced to a future where religion is eradicated and men of science are revered as gods.
