| Timequake Timequake is purportedly Kurt Vonnegut's last book, and while it probably won't be quite what readers would expect from the old sci-fi master, it's a fine book. The premise is that a "timequake" has occurred in the space-time continuum, forcing everyone to relive the decade between 1991 and 2001. Because history can't be changed, everyone is on automatic pilot during the rerun, repeating their actions of the "first" 10 years. When time snaps back to normal, the majority of people fall prey to post-timequake apathy (PTA): they're pretty confused, not only about what happened during the last 10 years but also about what will come next. Luckily Kurt Vonnegut and his fictional alter ego, the almost has-been science fiction writer Kilgore Trout, are there to explain it all. . |
