Review:
A collection of time travel themed short stories. I don’t really dig time travel stories and yet… these were no exception. It’s all been done, the paradoxes explored and presented in more ways than an obi clue in a crossword.
But. The last two novellas were not time travel and were excellent. “Flash Crowd” explored a society that had adopted teleportation fairly recently. A really insightful look into what happens to airlines cars, roads, the economy. A bit like how we look to a future without gasoline powered autos, with hope and a healthy dose of trepidation.
This was a good read from a great author.
This book made me want to: buy Brian Eno one of Yoko Ono’s obis
