A decent history student is a good friend to have if you get stuck in the past.

I thought it would be prudent to time travel with a bodyguard, but now that you mention it, a history student is a better idea.

Thanks, Christina!

Happy, happy new year? And you know what? If 2023 isn't to our liking, we'll build a time machine and go somewhere else.

Nothing like a good time travel story. I'm actually writing a book called A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO TIME TRAVEL, only it has a bit of a twist to it...but I can't tell you without spoiling it. Take a look...https://open.substack.com/pub/benwoestenburg/p/a-beginners-guide-to-time-travel?r=1k5vhy&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Happy New Year, Bill!

You made my 2023, by reading that Mark Zuckerberg is only a lowly attorney. Happy days!

Thoroughly enjoyed your story!

That’s funny! I wonder how different social media would be if we had it for over 150 years.

Happy new year!

Thanks. I had fun writing "What Hath God Wrought?" and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Time travel is the ultimate "what if?"

Time travel is tricky, and that's why I don't recommend it. ;-)

Andrea changed the future, creating the first social network over 150 years ago, a telegraphic social network. Zuckerberg had to find other work.

I'm glad you enjoyed the story.
