This was a fascinating, mind-bending short story on the podcast #levarburtonreads. The author is Ted Chiang, who wrote the short story that the movie Arrival was based on.
It takes the concept of a portal through time to a twisty new place, and LeVar Burton does it justice. #podcasts #audiobooks #audioshorts

Well written with intriguing characters and a thought-provoking plot. I read this twice and simply loved it.

My experience with Ted Chiang's work is limited, but the thematic ties between this and the movie Arrival are clear. Interesting to ponder and effective emotionally.

98% of the stuff that's been hanging over me for over a month done, so let's get a cheap burger and read a novella.
