The Man Who Folded Himself

A. D. Knapp

What a perfect Mobius strip of a story. One of those books you wished you'd have read when you were 15 or so.

Makes you think how fragile the sense of self is.

Nota

This classic work of science fiction is widely considered to be the ultimate time-travel novel. When Daniel Eakins inherits a time machine, he soon realizes that he has enormous power to shape the course of history. He can foil terrorists, prevent assassinations, or just make some fast money at the racetrack. And if he doesn't like the results of the change, he can simply go back in time and talk himself out of making it! But Dan soon finds that there are limits to his powers and forces beyond his control.

This started out to be Super Extra Good (SEG™) but turned out to be Super Extra Meh (SEM™). Which is Slightly Very Outrageous since the book was written the glorious year I was born. Which should have obviously guaranteed its Super Extra Goodness (SEG™). Which it didn't. Which is Slightly Very Discombobulating (SVD™), if you ask me.
