A month ago, Vin sent me a box full of books, including several Robert Sawyer novels. I’ve enjoyed earlier reads, and Flashforward was a quick romp.
Courtesy of a supercollider experiment, the world gets a glimpse of its future 21 years out. Sawyer takes a swing at the mundane (patent office is overwhelmed with applications based on these glimpses) and the existential (can you change the future you foresaw, including your own murder?). Not all equally compelling threads, but the core premise is entertaining.
