Meh. Did not love it. No connection to the character, predictable and just not enjoyable. Realize it was a short story but had hoped for more.

***By His Bootstraps by Robert A. Heinlein***
Very cool time travel story, first published in 1941 under the pseudonym Anson MacDonald.
Another story that got merged into a magazine entry. I can't quite remember if I read this somewhere online or as part of an anthology. Can't find a link now. So probably the latter. I think I'll re-read this one if I can find it again.

How to confuse someone with the elemental time travel story?
This short story has its own closed über confused loops with some holes left by the author unanswered however backed by some epistemological notions. Read it if you want to experience such a possible life in the world of science fiction. Concepts of Free will, Retro causality, futuristic utopian visions and many more.
"If God created the world, who created God?
Who wrote the notebook? Who started the chain?" It's all bugging me.
