YCPL Ripples in Space: "All Our Wrong Todays" by Elan Mastai


Listen Later

Welcome to the second episode of Ripples in Space hosted by the Yadkin County Public Library.  Each month we review a new science fiction book and discuss major scientific concepts used throughout the story.   For this episode, we are reviewing All Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai.

In this week's story, we meet our aimless protagonist Tom Barren who lives in a futuristic world, unlike ours.  Technological advancements have solved all the world's problems. It’s a utopia.  Yet Tom is not satisfied.  Through some twists and sad turn of events, Tom takes an extremely unprepared leap with a time machine to change the past.  The changing of the past brings forth a present Tom was not expecting.  This is a story about the complexities of family, of unexpected journeys and the messiness and wonder of love.

Along with talking about the book, we will take a novice look at the plausibility of time travel and the impact it’s had in fiction.  Each week, other staff members will be bringing you more topics.  Be sure to check back each Wednesday at 1pm for a new episode.   Feel free to follow and connect with us on nwrlibrary.org/yadkin www.facebook.com/yadkincountypubliclibrary  www.pinterest.com/yadkinlibrary  twitter.com/YadkinL and www.instagram.com/yadkincountypubliclibrary .
