![]() ![]() I can't help but feel that, missing that in the audio version, I missed too much about what makes this book work. I also understand that the print version of the book has a lot of visual material which adds to the experience. ![]() I would not rule it out for either, though I was more fond of the performance than the writing. Would you try another book from Charles Yu and/or James Yaegashi? And somewhere inside it is the information that could help him-in fact it may even save his life. It’s called How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe, and he’s the author. He learns that the key may be found in a book he got from his future self. Accompanied by TAMMY, an operating system with low self-esteem, and Ed, a nonexistent but ontologically valid dog, Yu sets out, and back, and beyond, in order to find the one day where he and his father can meet in memory. ![]() When he’s not taking client calls or consoling his boss, Phil, who could really use an upgrade, Yu visits his mother (stuck in a one-hour cycle of time, she makes dinner over and over and over) and searches for his father, who invented time travel and then vanished. That’s where Charles Yu, time travel technician-part counselor, part gadget repair man-steps in. Every day, people get into time machines and try to do the one thing they should never do: change the past. Minor Universe 31 is a vast story-space on the outskirts of fiction, where paradox fluctuates like the stock market, lonely sexbots beckon failed protagonists, and time travel is serious business. ![]()
