This amazing book is a quirky look at the academic constraints on the future (and past) of time travel. Set in the future, it tells the story of a man's hunt for the Bishop's Birdnest. The protagonist ends up floating down the river with the characters in "Three Men in a Boat," reviving the population of cats (which are extinct in the future), surviving the WWII bombing of Coventry Cathedral, and falling in love... all in the name of science. Set in the same time period as Doomsday, but the complete opposite--light and funny where Willis' "Doomsday Book" is deeply emotional and dark at times.
