About Pebble in the Sky by Isaac Asimov
Joseph Schwartz is a retired tailor in 1949 Chicago when he is suddenly transported to Earth during the first Galactic Empire. There, Earth is treated as a poor and radioactive backwater, and its claim to be humanity’s original home is viewed with hostility across the Empire.
Schwartz must make sense of this unfamiliar future, where Earth’s conditions shape the lives of its inhabitants—including a law that sentences people to death at sixty. This classic science-fiction novel may appeal to readers interested in time travel, life under an interplanetary empire, and stories that place Earth at the margins of a vast civilization.
