This is a very fun time travel story.

Quick synopsis: Matt Nagle is a graduate student at MIT. While building a gravitron emitter he accidentally creates a device that shoots you into the future. Matt soon finds out that the box only moves one way and every jump he makes takes him 12 times farther into the future than the last jump. While jumping forward Matt also accidentally gets blamed for a murder and has to find a way to get back to his original time and undo all the messes he keeps creating.

This is a very fun, sweet adventure story and Haldeman creates several believable future civilizations. A quick and entertaining read I highly recommend it.
