	By His Bootstraps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A man is visited by a stranger from the future via a time portal.
		After a series of complicated events during which the protagonist meets up with himself several times, he gains control over the time machine that can create the portals, and uses it to set up that initial visit in the past.
		It is thus revealed that all of the characters who used the time machine were in fact the protagonist.

		Which is exactly what Danny does, but when he arrives "tomorrow" he's startled by another man in his room, a hauntingly familiar man: himself, one day older and one day wiser.
		A power he quickly uses to start a permanent pokergame against himselfs, as well as to fix history and move it into nicer paths and finally to have extended masturbation sessions with himself.
		who has ever dreamed about travelling through time has fantasized about: make yourself rich, visit exotic times and places, see how the pst really was and what the future will be like, change history for the better and have sex with yourself --well, maybe not that last.

	The Man Who Folded Himself
		TMWFH is the life story (stories?) of Daniel Eakin, aka Danny, aka Don, aka Dean, Dino, Dion, Dana, Dianne, Donna,..., and, of course, Uncle Jim and Aunt Jane.
		In turn he finds a female version of himself, sires a child with her, loses contact with her, and returns to his autoerotic homosexual heaven.
		TMWFH is by far the most ambitious stab at a time travel story in which reality is malleable.

		This man's guilt at being his own lover is reconciled when he meets a female variation of himself.
		The female version of himself apologizes because she is not a virgin.
		The intriguing homoautoerotic (?) subplots are undermined by this attempt to demonstrate that heterosexual monogamy is a superior type of love, even though a coupling (and conception) between a man and the version of himself born female is beyond incest and inbreeding and into something deeply creepy.

	Time travel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In science fiction it is a recurring plot device, used to set a character in a particular time not their own, and explore the character's interaction with the people and technology of that time—as a kind of culture shock.
		Eventually he learns that the woman in the picture is the old lady who gave him the watch, and that he was actually there in 1912 to meet her.
		A possible solution to this is to have the mechanics of time travel require that mass-energy be exchanged in precise balance between past and future at the moment of travel, or to simply expand the scope of the conservation law to encompass all timelines.

	Geoffrey Klempner: Afterword to David Gerrold's 'The Man Who Folded Himself'
		If I go back into the past now to face the 'myself' of yesterday, then the person who receives the warning cannot be me. He cannot exist in my past, but only in an alternative past that comes into existence the moment I double tap the button on my timebelt.
		When Dan puts on the timebelt, it is as if he acquires the power to cut himself out of the timestream, out of the text of human history, and paste his momentary self into another point in time in a hitherto identical universe.
		This essay was commissioned by BenBella Books as an afterword to the new edition of the 70's science fiction time travel classic The Man Who Folded Himself by David Gerrold, published 2003.

		Instead, the people elect the most qualified man to the presidency of the United States.
		And Gerrold shatters the AH status quo with "The Firebringers," which convincingly portrays several famous actors as military heroes who radically change history.

		Frodo, who carries the One Ring all the way to Mount Doom, is constantly faced with the temptations and uses of power.

		And if the quality of the hand-to-hand balancing was no more than fair, the contortions of the young man who folded himself in half to squeeze through a barrel no wider than his shoulders was jaw-droppingly good.
		Professional performances are one thing, but in an event like this which has tinges of a good old-fashioned ceilidh when everyone gets up and does their bit, there is nothing more alluring than watching the wee ones take to the stage.
		Not perfect, by any means, but as the six young girls got all the tricky manipulations of their lanterns spot on, the brief look of triumph they allowed to break through their otherwise composed faces said it all.

	"Cyberfeminism with a difference" by Rosi Braidotti
		The new alliance between the previously segregated domains of the technical and the artistic marks a contem porary version of the post-humanistic reconstruction of a techno-culture whose aesthetics is equal to its technological sophistication.
		In other words, as a female feminist who has taken her distance from traditional femininity and has empowered new forms of subjectivity, the riot girl knows how to put to good use the politics of parody: she can impersonate femaleness in her extreme and extremely annoying fashion.
		The subject of the film is a scientist who works for NASA and has devised very advanced mindmanipulating technologies first using a chimpanzee as the object of a scientific experiment later to be replaced by a mentally retarded man, whose brain gets 'expanded' through this new technology.

		Moreover, even as you may get the 'twist' at the start of the novel, you may continue reading in order to find out the main character will get out of his situation (which he continues to make deeper as he jumps backwards and forwards in time)...
		It is not only a time-travel story, but a story where--by meeting himself as a man AND as a woman--the lead character is able to see himself from another perspective....

	Classic Science Fiction Reviews
		avid Gerrold's The Man Who Folded Himself is the diary of Daniel Eakins, an eccentric young man who exists in a peculiar state of disconnection from humanity.
		At the same time, The Man Who Folded Himself is a closed circuit, lacking any outside context.
		What remains is a story that focuses all its attention on its main character, a biography of an eccentric and complicated man who is deeply engaged in a dangerous search for self-knowledge, at the expense of all other human contact.

		Anyone who's read a lot of time travel fiction has probably run into all of these already, but nowhere have I seen all of them treated so well in such a short space.
		While Daniel does feel the tug of culture and community, the general theme of the novel is one that holds the individual, or the self, as the highest value.
		Altogether, The Man Who Folded Himself was an easy read that raised some old questions in new and interesting ways, as well as raised a few new ones.

		Right now, as far as I know, there are a few physicists who think that some form of time travel (to the past) is possible in some limited fashion by using a "fl hole" (which, remember, is not a hole, nor is it entirely fl).
		And in this structureless space all events occur simultaneously, just as the sand in the desert 'occurs' all at once; but for us, who have a finite perspective on them, these events occur in sequence and under conditions to which the concept of simultaneity can be fitted.
		First if we were to travel back in time it would appear possible that we could change the past, possibly causing a causal loop whereby our actions in the past affect the way we are in the future.

		When the appropriate time came there was a sudden rush of requests for the presses; he then hired them out on his own terms and so made a large profit, thus demonstrating that it is easy for philosophers to be rich, if they wish, but that it is not in this that they are interested.
