Rob Hollander read philosophy in the 1980s and then drifted into journalism, specialising in stories nobody believes. Chasing one of them, he ends up in Los Angeles at the invitation of an old classmate, who owns a time machine and lets him go back. The journey returns him to his university years and his boyhood, where he hopes to undo something. On the way the book enlists believers and sceptics, God, the broadcaster G.B.J. Hiltermann, Jehovah's Witnesses, the music of James Brown and a commune of free spirits.
