“There is a place where times stands still. Raindrops hang motionless in air. Pendulums of clocks float mid-swing.”
“Who would fare better in this world of fitful time? Those who have seen the future and live only one life? Or those who have not seen the future and wait to live life? Or those who deny the future and live two lives?”
This one is a very thought-provoking take on the concept of “Time”. Each chapter then is a thought experiment. The book is full of original ideas mentioned in every chapter and some of these ideas make you think really hard about how we perceive time and life in general. There are moments of sublime beauty and unexpected humor in the book as well.
Overall, a lot of “What-if” questions came to my mind post this book.
