Overlap - The Lives of a Former Time Jumper

This interview with Marcus Hollister, the man who 'sort of' invented time travel, is a touching story of love, regret, loss, and the hope for redemption.



Nearing the end of his life, wealthy recluse and long-time widower Marcus Hollister-famously known for creating the technology behind Vacations in Time-wished to tell his story to a hopeful young reporter, Jessica Matthews.



Why did he choose her? Why now?



She was most interested in his motivations for creating a means of what Marcus called time jumping and his explanation of the 'overlap' it produced. Probing questions steered the conversation toward how his time travel invention came to be nothing more than a recreational tool, and why he shut down the multi-trillion-dollar business it spawned.



Their one-hour meeting stretched into three days, in which they discovered some secrets were best kept buried.
