When a narcissistic billionaire accidentally turns a prototype time machine into a "greed-powered" engine, he must travel through history to manipulate ancient economies, outrun a cosmic tax auditor, and generate one billion dollars in every era just to find his way home.
Brief Summary
The story begins in the modern day when Sir Nicholson Noble attempts to "acquire" time itself. However, his Golden Clock time machine malfunctions, requiring "Pure Economic Energy" (specifically one billion dollars’ worth) to make each jump.
The trio is thrust into a chaotic journey across time, landing in Ancient Egypt (where they launch a pyramid scheme), Victorian London (where they trade fog-futures), the Roaring Twenties (inventing the credit card for gangsters), and even the End of the Universe .
In every chapter, Noble faces a different financial crisis—from "Industrial Momentum" to "Social Friction." He is constantly pursued by The Short-Seller , a rival who wants to bankrupt reality itself. The novel is a high-speed satire on human greed, branding, and the absurdity of global markets. Ultimately, the team must combine their gathered "assets" to pay the ultimate price at the end of time to reboot the universe, proving that while time is money, a billion dollars is just the beginning of the adventure.
