(Found) Title in Question

[aardvarkg4]

I have in mind a certain premise from a sci-fi book or story, and I can't recall the title or author. If anyone knows of a good way/site to solve this, I'd appreciate a recommendation.

For those confident enough in their knowlege of sci-fi literature, read on:

The premise involved wormhole technology. The characters discovered the technology to control wormhole placement not only in space but then in time. They then placed a sort of camera and held the wormholes open allowing them to see anywhere and anywhen. This resulted in many major social ramifications, including inflicting a conscience onto the masses.

I really would like to reference this in an essay on attempts at utopia. If it sounds familiar, give a holler. Thanks.

A hint...

One more clue. It's probably a short story.

Sorry aardvarkg4 this one really has me stumped. Your synopsis doesn't even really sound that familiar to me Someone else might be able to help you out in here...

I'll see if I can turn anything up

Ah Ha!

I figured it out! It's a novel called "The Light of Other Days" by Clarke/Baxter. Thanks nonetheless. (It's a good book, of course. It's Clarke.)

The Light fo Other Days

It is Arthur C. Clarke copywrite 2000, so you wouldn't have to remember far. I won't spoil plotline anymore, I'll just say it's quite good. It does take place on earth, which can be a nice change But yes, good social commentary.
