FUTURE HISTORY
A.C. Clarke on Viewing Stapeldon's "tremenduous saga of future history, Last and First Men." :

With its multimillion year vistas, and its roll call of great but doomed civilizations, the book produced an overwhelming impact on me.   can still remember patiently copying Stapledon's "Time Scales" -- up to the last one, where "Planets Formed" and "End of Man" lie only a fraction of an inch on either side of a moment marked "Today."
