Arnie Kott is one of the wealthiest men on Mars, running the plumbing union who have vitrual control over all of the canals on the planet, but greed leads him to desire even more power of the Martian people. So when he hears a theory that connects autism weith time travel, he decides to use the aid of a young autistic boy so that he can travel back in time and buy some land that Earth's government plan to build housing on.

This is a very intricate and intriguing story. The characters become intertwined in the most unlikely ways, and the notion of time travel is approached in an original and wholly unusual way. The ending is a little to quickly wrapped up for my liking, but overall this is a fine example of Dick's expertise as one of the most accessible sci-fi writers of the recent past.
