Synopsis
An accident with a very powerful generator at a physics lab sends a shock into Richard Nelson. He seems to be okay, but appears to have been reversed.
History
First publication: Fantasy, December 1946
Review
Sort of a retelling of The Plattner Story by H. G. Wells, though different in certain ways. Clarke’s story is a lot more scientific than the Wells story, and lacks the fantastic and cosmic other world. Recommended though.
