A team of Temporalists send robot RG-32 200 years into the future where it seems to almost
all that mankind is doing better than expected on Earth and in space.
RG-32 was a rather old-fashioned robot, eminently replaceable. He could observe and
report, perhaps without quite the ingenuity and penetration of a human being—but well
enough. He would be without fear, intent only on following orders, and he could be
expected to tell the truth.
