Second Paradigm, Peter J. Wacks' first time travel novel, introduces a new literary structure. Time travel is not linear in nature and therefore cannot be written in a linear fashion. After six years in the works, Peter was able to develop a literary structure which allows his book to be read in several different orders, after designing and utilizing a unique 'spider web' concept as a new plot structure. The human brain is wired to perceive things in a linear fashion. A leads to B which leads to C. Not only in the art of storytelling, but in everyday life, we stumble across nonlinear concepts (like the idea of time travel). Second Paradigm presents the 'spiderweb' and 'ghost' plot structures he invented to tell nonlinear stories.« less
