Brimming with alternative universes, futuristic landscapes and gleeful metaphysics… Yu's spirit of invention is infectious. — Sunday Times
Highly inventive and hilarious — The Times
_______________________________________________________________________________________

With only TAMMY — a slightly tearful computer with self-esteem issues — a software boss called Phil — Microsoft Middle Manager 3.0 — and an imaginary dog called Ed for company, fixing time machines is a lonely business and Charles Yu is stuck in a rut.
He's spent the better part of a decade navel-gazing, spying on 39 different versions of himself in alternate universes (and discovered that 35 of them are total jerks). And he's kind of fallen in love with TAMMY, which is bad because she doesn't have a module for that.
With all that's on his mind, perhaps it's no surprise that when he meets his future self, he shoots him in the stomach. And that's a beginner's mistake for a time machine repairman. Now he's stuck in a time loop, going in circles forever. All he has, wrapped in brown paper, is the book his future self was trying to press into his hands. It's called How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe. And he's the author. And somewhere inside it is the information that could save him.

Цитаты

  • Stephanie Burckhardцитируетв прошлом году
    Everyone’s always questioning themselves. Am I doing this right, is this how I’m supposed to look? Am I good enough to be a good guy, am I bad enough to be a bad guy?

    I don’t know what I would do without you. I don’t know what I will do without you. I learned about the future tense, how anxiety is encoded into our sentences, our conditionals, our thoughts, how worry is encoded into language itself, into grammar.
  • Stephanie Burckhardцитируетв прошлом году
    I remember this day, I know what happens, and yet I still feel like I don’t know what will happen.
