Tomorrow and Tomorrow

Tomorrow and Tomorrow was published in 1996 by Bantam Books as a standalone science fiction novel written by Charles Sheffield. Set in a future where advanced technology allows for near-instantaneous global travel and the resurrection of historical figures, the narrative explores themes of love, immortality, and the ethical implications of tampering with the human timeline. The book reflects Sheffield’s background as a physicist and his consistent focus on hard science fiction grounded in rigorous technical speculation.

Sheffield, a past president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, designed the novel to bridge the gap between complex theoretical physics and human-centric drama. Critics often noted his ability to blend expansive, cosmic-scale concepts with intimate character motivations, a hallmark of his work throughout the 1990s. While he was well-regarded among genre enthusiasts for his technical accuracy, this particular title remains a representative example of the mid-90s Bantam Spectra imprint's commitment to intellectually challenging space operas.
