Why

The future wasn't about knowing what would happen to who, or when major events would occur. The details were nothing. It wouldn't matter in a hundred years. For him it was knowing about the fundamental forces of the universe. To make sense of things in a larger framework, to get a glimpse of the underpinnings of everything.

He was still worried that the future would be a step backwards. Secure but not challenging, devoid of variation and too laid back for progress to occur.

It was difficult to condition himself to think outside the box. To question the unquestionable and disregard the assumptions. He looked around for a bit to nibble on mentally. What could be replaced? Changed? Where would he leave himself clues?

His life was an open book to anyone who wanted to look. Privacy seemed like a outdated concept, at least when dealing with the future. Assuming there was anything left to look into.
