What a silly book.
You start in one timeline, post-skynet. Then you fire some of the spare terminators through to the other with the time-machine. The time machines are silly pretty much by definition.
Anyway the point is, it's not actually the first time the notion of skynet downloading itself into something and escaping through time has come up.

Yeah, but time machines by definition go forwards or backwards through time - it's something yet unheard of (by me) in the Terminator style time machines that you can dial which future/past, aka different parallel timelines, to go to.

Well, if you're going forwards in time in a branching-timeline universe, you've got to have some selection mechanism (unless you go to all potentials) and yeah, there was a lot of eye-bleeding technobabble about this.
