When computers were first introduced, they promised to save us so much time we would shorten our work days and have hours of leisure to read, pursue our hobbies, and enjoy our families. Instead, we work longer hours than ever (especially if we’re in the computer industry) and we never seem to have any spare time. The more computerized we become, the less time we have. Why might that be? A computer repair tech discovers the awful truth...just in the nick of time.
“Time Out” is the 21st volume in the collected short stories of Jerry Oltion. Jerry has had his short stories published in most of the major science fiction venues and has had several successful novels, including four highly acclaimed Star Trek books. He has become the most published author in the history of Analog magazine. His stories have won the Nebula award, the Endeavor award, the Seiun award, and have been nominated multiple times for the Hugo award. His stories are often humorous, with likable characters using intelligence and competence (as opposed to force and violence) to solve their problems. His style harks back to the golden age of science fiction, yet with a modern sensibility and relevance. Even his earliest works hold up well today — and on into the future.
