[nesfa-reading-group] NESFA Reading Group Sea of Tranquility Zoom Link (June 2)

[cjhi newcastle2.com]

It's just as well I sent in ahead; we lost power around 7:45. !@#$%^&*()!!! Eversource got the gas station up the road working in a couple of hours but took >7 for us; at least the 2nd time we've lost power in less than a year -- and they don't have the excuse of trees falling on wires as all the local supply is underground.

SPOILER ALTERT: I will try to time this (without) at time machine to be sent right before the meeting. I do not know how well that will work.
I will not be attending the Zoom meeting

There have been so many themes in Science Fiction, it is difficult to come up with something entirely new. This was a fairly interesting time-travel story. It was written well enough to hold my interest.

Much of it seemed contrived for the sake of having a plot. The question of “If we were living in a simulation, how would we know it was a simulation” seemed directly out of the movie “The Matrix”; “Deja vu all over again?” The fact that the Time Institute would only go back and undo the damage if the damage affects the Time Institute left many apparent paradoxes unresolved. The Far Colonies happening to have another time machine was a coincidence which resolved a problem, but also seemed contrived.

If I have to rate it, I would rate it 7/13.
