[Mike Lorrey]

Actually, I'd like to see a story that did the reverse: allowed a
person to travel forward in time, but only within their future real
natural life span, such that they can jump to halfway to their natural
death, then half again, etc. The story would follow this several jumps,
with views of society that demonstrate the power of exponential change
in technology, until the jumps start getting longer, which is explained
by the fact that events that occur in the time stream between jumps
(i.e. invention of longevity technologies) lengthen ones natural life
span....
