Henry jumps at the chance to go forward in time to live an extra life in the future. He is sent a hundred years into the future where society is about to erupt in revolt. The uprising uses him as a figurehead, especially as he is not controlled by being registered on the grid. His experience of a time of relative freedom and his willingness to speak about a vision of a fairer changed society gives him prominence.
The rulers try to kill him, if they can find him, because they know he is coming and what he will do. Initially they think that they have succeeded.
The carnal pleasures of a society where sex is more casual also draws him into a close and sexual relationship with two women from the Community that shelter him. One of these women is a key leader of the revolt. He finds that not only is he a lynch-pin for the uprising and takes a very active part in it, but he finds happiness in a community where his lack of genetic damage is important and the women are very sharing.
