The Infinitive of Go
The Infinitive of Go | John Brunner
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
CODE NAME POSTER The first practical matter transmitter was a success, or so everyone thought. In spite of paranoid security restrictions, Justin Williams and Cinnamon Wright, co- inventors of the device, counted on it to revolutionise civilisation and gain them an honoured place in history. But the first long-distance field test with a human being ? a diplomatic courier carrying a vital message ? somehow misfired when the courier killed himself on arrival at his destination. To prove his faith in his invention ? and to escape charges of sabotage ? Justin had himself ?posted? thousands of miles. He came through unchanged. It was the world that was somehow different?

A short but somewhat confusing novel dealing with teleportation, known as posting, and how it opens the world to infinite parallel universes. Some of the science was over my head, and at times the book was too much talking heads, but overall still an interesting story. It loses 1/2 a star for the non-ending ending, just an abrupt stop. 3 ⭐⭐⭐
5th book for #ReadWithUs @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.
