    This is basically the premise of Charles Stross’ Singularity Sky duology (never got more than 2 books because he realized he’d written himself into a corner). A weakly godlike AI dispatches human agents to throw wrenches into the works of people who might inadvertently violate causality within its lightcone. Of course your premise is time travel so the Eschaton’s agents will arrive to drug you shortly.
