In the Time Patrol, agents born decades or centuries apart interact as if in an eternal present.
Thus, in at least two ways, sf can show us "generation gaps" beyond ours in the twentieth or twenty-first centuries.
But I find that I have posted quite a lot about this already.
I have a lot of time and respect for Coya Conyon who unfortunately is a viewpoint character in only one short story.
Today we might be busy with other matters.

The Time Patrol is very careful to keep the timelines of individual agents coherent, though!
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
In "The Sorrow of Odin the Goth" we do see Carl almost getting his personal time-line "incoherent." When he discovered "he" had visited his Goths at a time he did not recall.
Testing.
Ad astra! Sean
