  This has immediately become my favorite amongst Asimov's novels. After the author introduces the world of Eternity and gives us a detailed idea of what it is, the novel becomes a quick paced thriller with unexpected turns of event and unforgettable moments. But where it becomes glorious is at the end, when all the clues are pieced together and the truth about Eternity is found out. Eternity ends, and Infinity begins.

  Published in 1959 this is excellent classic Asimov. I almost loved this more than the Caves of Steel. It was about a society in the far future that had achieved time travel and was able to change the centuries of the future to provide the greatest good for the greatest number of people (kinda like Time Lords if they didn't have the whole non-intervention policy). There was a lot of discussion about the nature of time travel and what was best for humanity. It asked a lot of interesting questions and challenged ideas about society. It had a really fantastic ending which I can't explain without giving anything away but it made perfect sense and was very hopefull. Definitely one I'd highly recommend.

  "When we moved out into space, the signs were up. Occupied! No Trepassing! Clear Out! Mankind drew back its exploratory feelers, remained at home. But now he knew Earth for what it was: a prison surrounded by an infinity of freedom ... And mankind died out!"

  There are some huge problems in its time traveling, but I suppose that's normal. Other than that I liked it and enjoyed reading it
