Book Review of The Light of Other Days

The Light of Other Days
reviewed on + 22 more book reviews


A wonderful sci-fi co-written by the author of 2001:A Space Odyssey (Clarke) and The Time Ships (Baxter). An industrialist harnesses quantum physics to enable people everywhere to see one another at all times: around every corner, through every wall, into everyone's most private, hidden and even intimate moments. The new technology amounts to the sudden and complete abolition of human privacy - forever. Then they discover you can look BACK into the past w/the same technology and the plot evolves from there. A very good book and one that will make you think.
