This work deals with the issues of disability, difficulties one experiences with disability, that being the physical inability and also intersocial problems that lend themselves to one's own lack of self-esteem caused by it among other things like young love and space travel in the guise of the 24th century. The book follows the story of a young Haredi Jew name Yosef Gershom. His hand disability is the result of a congenital problem in his foramen magnum and cerebellum that causes a neurological difficulty in moving his hands. As described in the title, this malformation is in his neck. Just in the Neck of Time comes from phrase 'just in the nick of time' and is simply clever wordplay, though the story handles the situation that the neuroseurgeon experiments in is to make a medium for showing ancestral memory. This memory, in its own way, is time travel. Other matters dealt with is alien culture, as there is an alien species discovered in the universe in which it is set. Modern social issues are discussed in its confines in its own literary style. I align my own struggles in society and with my physical disability. I will warn there are historical and some public scientific figures referenced in this work, usually in a referential way. The story coalesces with my own struggles and social differences that I live with regularly and hope you enjoy this narrative of my etiologic self.
