Flashforward
Flashforward | Robert J. Sawyer
1 post | 19 read | 6 to read
Robert J. Sawyer's award-winning science fiction has garnered both popular and critical acclaim. The New York Times Book Review called Frameshift "filled to bursting with ideas, characters and incidents". His novels are fixtures on the Hugo and Nebula ballots. Sawyer now brings us Flashforward, the story of a world-shattering discovery. In pursuit of an elusive nuclear particle, an experiment goes incredibly awry, and, for a few moments, the consciousness of the entire human race is thrown ahead by about twenty years. As the implications truly hit home, the pressure to repeat the experiment builds. Everyone wants a glimpse of their future, a chance to flashforward and see their successes ... or learn how to avoid their failures. Winner of the Aurora Award and the basis for the hit ABC television series. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Suddenly, everyone in the world passes out for 2 minutes, with most seeing a vision 21 years in the future. As you can imagine, this wreaks havoc and poses many questions. Such a great idea, and I enjoyed the show several years ago, but I can‘t recommend this book. It‘s compelling in places but too uneven and much too casually sexist and racist.

TrishB And it sounded like such a good plot! 3y
BarbaraBB I read this one too and was disappointed as well. Also a gorgeous picture again! 3y
