The Leonard Lopate Show | Feb 6, 2017

Set in a utopian version of 2016, complete with flying cars and moving sidewalks, it tells the story of Tom Barren. Despite the fact that he lives in an idealistic world free from want, he is not happy. He inadvertently becomes a time traveler and manages to send himself back to the year 1965.
