The year is 2058. When genius holiday modeller Bert falls for Nina's libertine charms, he senses that the Elite - the rulers of the one world system, known as "IState" - may have tricked the world into a technological, transhuman existence by way of the stunning hive mind called the Singularity. But the Singularity is missing something that even he cannot recreate in his high-tech laboratories; the spirit and joy of truly living. Freedom, he discovers, is now an illusion to all but the minority who manage the countryside. As the Elites set out to coerce the remaining free humans into the hive-mind of the Singularity, Nina vanishes after a brutal encounter with authority. Stunned, Bert clones himself and, along with Tor, a spunky farming girl, they plot an extraordinary journey back in time to secretly disrupt the past in order to sort out the future. Bert aims for the 1990's, the beginning of the computer age, but they end up in a time where the humble postage stamp is the biggest tech around... "Thoroughly entertaining, thought provoking, hilarious and horribly resonant with our time, Time Stamp is an absolute blockbuster of alternative storytelling."
