Interesting concept, a nice way to

have time travel

without actually having it. I suppose I wish the reasoning for the whole thing was more interesting than the

eugenicist 'build a better gene pool'

but I suppose it would be hard to come up with much else that makes sense. Not sure the ending was satisfactory but at least was realistic instead of all hunky dory
