Of course it was written before he went batshit insane....
In the story a device is invented that allows you to send messages back in time- the device is also the reciever so you cannot send messages to a time prior to its being built...
The protagonists have to use the machine to prevent world threatening disasters from occurring- such as a super plague, and the accidental creation of mini black holes that will devour the earth- whenever they send a message back to change something their timeline ceases to exist- There is a sappy love story theme where the protagonist and his love interest have to send a message back in time to change the past at a point before they met- thus, essentially risking that they would never meet and fall in love- but of course they do meet again since - physics be damned- nothing can stop true love, lol....
