Review

There are some very interesting questions in this book – if we could have a time machine and go back and visit a place and time such as a war, for entertainment, should we?

We’ve seen attempts in the news to visit the scene of the Titanic sinking and billionaires going to the moon but what could unscrupulous billionaires are able to influence the development and use of technology to go back into the past and potentially change things?

I’ve read Ray Bradbury’s ‘ A Clap of Thunder’ and if you haven’t you must – it looks at what would happen if someone went back into the past and did something that affected the future and present day. A man goes back in time to kill Hitler for example. What happens when that man comes back into the present day? It’s the butterfly effect examined under a technological microscope.

The author perhaps does have a time machine as she has recreated all the details of London in the blitz. Or maybe that’s another story….

Summary:

Quirky, inventive and oh so original
