Let us ... have trips in time as well as in space ... a quick passport not merely from Brooklyn to Arabia but to Arabia in the time of Mohammed, tours to the dawn of history or to the end of time.... If all things are possible, if all gates stand open, what sort of world will we have?" This is the challenge Robert Silverberg poses in his Foreword, to which three of science fictions highest award winners have responded with a trio of short novels displaying the variety and scope that outstanding literary craftsmen can bring to the same basic concept. In "Flash Crowd," Larry Niven describes some of the social perils that may follow instantaneous travel. In "Youll Take the High Road," John Brunners hero finds that mans technological accomplishments are steadily matched by his perfection of the snafu. "Rumfuddle" is Jack Vances eerie tale of historical coincidences.
