Critiques

This book is funny and witty. It starts with a captivating thought experiment that will likely find its way in identity philosophy. I really enjoyed that part.

Once you are past the mind blowing background and the adventure begins, the book gave me the same feeling as a video game that is open ended, after you beat the last boss. A lot of fun things to explore and do, but no real tension.

So, besides the fun thought experiment, the book felt flat. I am not easily convinced by pop and sci-fi culture and references, the abuse of which I am sure explain the popular success of the book. The world building around the geopolitics is quite immature and would work for a joke, but it turns out the book relies on it for its main plot and it just gets annoying.… (plus d'informations)

Funny. It started out great, some real nice nerd humor, and interesting story line. At some point the number of Bobs start to multiply and the story gets a little disjointed. Fortunately most story lines are engaging though, so I enjoyed it, and intend to find book nr. 2.

I don't know how to feel about this one. The humor stopped helping somewhere around the half-way point, but there were some fun moments.

The biggest issue was that much of it felt like I was listening to a first-person narration of the early Warcraft games.

A rather interesting piece of short time travel fiction exploring ramifications of messing with the timeline. Coming off the back of listening to The Neil Gaiman at the End of the Universe this was a bit more meaty and interesting, though a little too brief to really leave an impression.

If you like this, Primer is a much more in depth and interesting exploration of time travel.
