So nope, this one didn't really work for me. Which I think would have happened without the confusion - it takes just this side of forever for any actual plot to be bothered to happen. There's way too much science talk and not nearly enough make-it-make-sense-to-the-reader talk. But they don't want to make it too clear or else the Grandfather Paradox would kick in and.it.wouldn't.work? But somehow it sort of doesn't work anyway (but also sort of does), because, I'm guessing, butterfly wings and then Kennedy gets shot but not killed? Because physics! Gah. Gregory Benford’s most popular book is Foundations Fear (Second Foundation Trilogy, 1). There are two timelines in this story: one in sort-of mid-apocalyptic 1998, when algae blooms and mass extinctions have triggered the beginning of the end it seems, and one in 1962, when scientists at UCLA are conducting some sort of physics experiment involving tachyons.? Anyway, the future scientists (aka those in 1998 - the book was published in 1980) figure out that they can send a message via tachyons to the 1962 scientists, warning them of the impending doom. Gregory Benford has 529 books on Goodreads with 174910 ratings.
