Say you're a time traveler and you've already toured the entirety of human history. After a while, the outside world might lose a little of its luster. That's why this time traveler celebrates his birthday partying with himself. Every year, he travels to an abandoned hotel in New York City in 2071, the hundredth anniversary of his birth, and drinks twelve-year-old Scotch (lots of it) with all the other versions of who he has been and who he will be. Sure, the party is the same year after year, but at least it's one party where he can really, well, be himself. |
A bit of topic for this thread, but this has been bugging me all day.
Many years ago, I read a short story with a similar idea. It's about a time traveller keeps reliving the same year as he considers it the best year. The title is something simple like "The Best Year" and there is a scene that could be the inspiration for this novel. I can't think of an author for it. Heinlein would be my usual thought, but I can't see anything and other than the feeling it is by a big name, I can't put a name to it.
Anyone have an idea?
