Dr. Carter succeeds in moving through time into the far future, where he is met by a man named Garvin in a room called the Control Chamber, and where he tries to convince the doctor to return to his own time as quickly as possible. The doctor doesn't want to, but when he visits the city and meets the people, he discovers that everyone looks alike, housing is identical and people travel to pre-arranged destinations. But when he desires later to return to his own time, he is in for a real surprise!
