A Golden Age Science Fiction series by Creator/HBeamPiper which appeared on ''[[Magazine/{{Analog}} Astounding Science Fiction]]'' and later continued by John F. Carr. The premise is simple: a highly advanced and sophisticated Human society has exhausted the resources of the three life bearing planets of our solar system and now survives as a parasite on other, less developed timelines including our own. This exploitation is supervised by the Paratime Commission whose enforcement arm is the Paratime Police.

* WeWillAllFlyInTheFuture: On the Home Timeline at least, aircars (including [[AutomatedAutomobiles robot]] aircabs) are ubiquitous and buildings have "landing-stages" on their roofs. (Technically the "Home Timeline" is not actually The Future--presumably any timeline that could manage to not have a nuclear war or otherwise fall into some sort of Dark Age would also eventually wind up with flying cars, robots, and ray guns.)

* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: "Psycho-rehabilitation", which evidently can be an ''extremely'' unpleasant process. In "Time Crime", a man facing the process---a corrupt politician who has been working for a very nasty slave trading gang---muses to himself:
-->Psycho-rehabilitation was a dreadful thing to face. There would be almost a year of unremitting agony, physical and mental, worse than a Khiftan torture rack. There would be the shame of having his innermost secrets poured out of him by the psychotherapists, and, at the end, there would emerge someone who would not be Salgath Trod, or anybody like Salgath Trod, and he would have to learn to know this stranger, and build a new life for him.
