Flashforward

I haven’t read any Sawyer in a few years, but I’ve read three of his books previously.  I enjoyed all three, Hominids, Calculating God, and The Terminal Experiment, giving them three or four stars, so my hopes were high for this book as well.  I wasn’t disappointed.  This 2000 Aurora Award winner (the Canadian SF book award) was a fast-paced, very readable contemplation on the effects of knowing the future and what we do with it.  It was couched in a hard science fiction story concerning an experiment at CERN gone wrong.  I enjoyed this book so much, I read it in one night.  Well technically, I read the last 30 pages early the next morning because I couldn’t keep my eyes open at 1:30 a.m.
