Among Us

Is there anyone among us who has seen the future of mankind? Let him tell us now. Dr. William Dewey Hobson, professor emeritus and renowned authority on mind, inadvertently comes across a book in a used bookstore published some forty-three years in the future, which leads him to the knowledge he has been seeking all of his life: a complete, true explanation of the human self and the outside world. The retired professor's discovery leads him to meet Jonathan Tutwell, a young graduate student from the forty-first century sent back in time to study an ancient savage species: humanity. The magnificent future of mankind where good will is seen as exactly the same thing as taking care of oneself remains out of reach for those living today, but Dr. Hobson's glimpse into the future gives him hope that the future is near at hand.
