One switch. Two futures. One impossible choice. In William Tenn’s razor‑sharp, satirical time‑travel classic, Max Alben and his near‑double, Mac Albin, rocket through the gray between moments to a 1976 missile test—each sent to flip the same red toggle in opposite directions. In one 2089, the Blight has devoured Earth’s food supply and black‑market kings rule by hunger. In the other, a sterilizing epidemic has left humanity cushioned, coddled—and slowly dying out. What follows is a breathless duel of destinies where hunger battles sterility, freedom collides with safety, and a single “flick!” can erase an entire world. Jason Michael Mann’s vivid performance draws out Tenn’s wit and tension—gritty and desperate on one side, cool and clinical on the other—until a paradox‑charged finale snaps into place. Perfect for fans of mind‑bending time travel, moral dilemmas, and classic mid‑century SF that still hits like a shockwave.
