Timeline

Timeline is a book written by Michael Crichton. New technology and science always provokes the question: Will this power be used for good or evil? Sometimes it isn't even a matter of intent. Sometimes people just don't understand the power they have and they accidentally ruin things. As you might have guessed this is a book about time travel. Some of the characters are out for selfish means while others are just trying to save a friend. However, the whole story and situation makes me wonder: If we had the power to go back in time, should we? Could we really understand the situation clearly enough to not mess things up? And of course there would be people whom would want to change history to suit their desires. Is it a power best left alone?
