What is your opinion?

Asimov-like

"I really enjoyed reading this short story. I liked that the author set it squarely in our times of political and social turmoil, in the middle of a Trump protest, but that the main character is not from our time. It made me think of some of Asimov's stories and I would have liked to find out more. The premise is intriguing and I'm left wondering about a few things, especially what happened to the women, as he hints at problems. Not too much is revealed, leaving readers curious for more. I personally would keep reading if this was a longer story, but it works well as a short story too. I also loved the humor. There is not much of it, but it fits well where it appears in the story. I sent specific feed back for grammar/sentence structure issues,but those are easy to fix. Great story!"

Political theme, woohoo

"A topic after my own heart! Great to read something political on this website. It’s a very nice change from all the romance and thriller stories… ☺ One thing that struck me from the very beginning is that the author gives away a lot very quickly. Already in the third paragraph I, the reader, know that he’s a time-traveler. In the next paragraphs the character makes sure to comment on each thing that is different form his time to ours and already reveals that “World War Three” will start. I think this is the thing that makes this novel less interesting than it could be. Perhaps it would be a good idea to start off a chapter with keeping suspense, making it unclear to the reader who is the main character, what they are doing, why they are there. But I have to say I am happy to read a politically tinged novel on here, keep it up!"
