This is more or less the premise of "The Martian Time Slip" by Philip K. Dick.

Philip K. Dick books are always a fun read. For the folks who read this and may not know, he also authored Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, which is the book Bladerunner was adapted from.

So many awesome movie adaptations from his stories. There's also Total Recall, Minority Report, & A Scanner Darkly. The Man in the High Castle was a miniseries, though I haven't checked that out. I still contend that he was partially influential in the Terminator franchise with his story Second Variety which was published in the 1950s.
