The Time Hoppers is a science fiction novel by American writer Robert Silverberg, first published by Doubleday in 1967. The plot concerns Joe Quellen, a 25th-century bureaucrat charged with investigating "hoppers", travelers from the future whose presence in the past has been documented for hundreds of years, and his brother-in-law, Norman Pomrath, an unemployed blue collar worker who ends up being presented with an opportunity to travel back in time.

Book Details

First Sentence

"Sie sagten, die übervölkerte Welt sei schön. Die gläsernen Hochhäuser der Stadt, die sich dicht aneinanderreihten, das bunte Gewirr des Pöbels, der sich um die Schnellbootrampen drängte, das Spiel der Sonnenstrahlen auf Hunderten von glitzernden Umhängen – darin, so behaupteten die Ästheten, offenbare sich Schönheit."

Edition Notes

Flucht aus dem Jahre 2490

Kriminalsekretär Joseph Quellen, Angestellter Klasse VII, besitzt eindeutige Beweise für die Existenz der Zeitspringer: Die alten Polizeiakten des Jahres 1979. Sie berichten vom Auftauchen seltsam gekleideter Frauen und Männer, die nach scharfen Verhören gestehen, aus dem 25. Jahrhundert geflüchtet zu sein, um dem hoffnungslosen Leben unter dem Regime der Maschinen zu entgehen. Kriminalsekretär Quellen befindet sich in einer Zwangslage. Er soll die illegale Organisation der Zeitreisenden zerschlagen – darf aber durch sein Eingreifen kein Zeitparadoxon verursachen, das das Regime in seinen Grundfesten erschüttern würde.
