A surprisingly enjoyable story from the early years. Lloyd Harkins is an electronic technician from 1956 who suddenly finds himself in the far future, in a world where small primitive bands of people live in a post-holocaust Earth with gigantic aliens and robots roaming around. The interpersonal relationships are a little shallow, but not completely cardboard. And while I generally don't care for modern-man-unexpectedly-thrown-into-the-future stories (of which Silverberg has written quite a few), this one is fun.
