Write Up Containing Books The Light of Other Days

When I was a couple of chapters into this book, I felt that I was going to struggle with it, since I was finding the characters unmemorable (and, when I did remember them, irritating), the plot thin and none of the really big ideas that Clarke is famous for. I was wondering if this was just another senile-period damp squib. However, I'd heard good things about it, so I stuck with it and was eventually rewarded.A driven media entrepreneur, Hiram Patterson, creates a way to use artificial

Very vivid pictures of possible scenario with masterful writing style. If you liked this book then I suggest to read "Long Earth" which is quite similar and also written in cooperation by Baxter.

Just as great as I remember it! Once you get through the first couple of chapters, this book is impossible to put down. The uses of micro wormholes and their effects on society really got me thinking. If time and space were yours to control, what would you do!spoiler alert!The only part of the story that ground my gears was the look into the past to find the true history of Jesus. I could care less to hear any more religious nonsense, and then once the actual history of Jesus is discovered,

Well, it was an interesting idea for a book: quantum physics allow instantaneous transmissions of data across space - cool enough. Then, because of distance-time equivalence in a quantum universe, scientists are able to start beaming transmissions from anywhere in time as well as space. The technology turns almost everyone in the world into a paparazzo of everyone else, and many people also retreat into historical voyeurism. A few people cope with the total loss of privacy by seeking newer,

This was a really good read!I got into reading Stephen Baxter's other two books, "Flood" & "Ark" recently and loved them. When I saw that he wrote a book with Arthur C. Clarke, and the subject, I knew I would be in for a fun ride. They did not disappoint. What made this even more fun to read, was knowing that the book was written back in 2000. A lot of the ideas and technologies they wrote about are happening today, just with a different technology...the internet, web cams, streaming video

This is a well written, readable, and highly interesting science fiction read that speculates how humanity deals with the complete and total lose of privacy. Sadly, this book only gets 4 stars because its plot was not as good as Trigger. Overall, this book gave me some new ideas and concepts to explore. Some of the speculation by the authors became a bit painful at points because of the extended speculation (then again, science fiction is about speculation.) Overall, a shocking, thought

Two main problems with this one. The political background to the early part of the book had been outstripped by developments of the last decade or so and the book is reminiscent of a previous Stephen Baxter book that I read. Having said that, the central idea behind the book is quite interesting. How would we cope in a world when you could be watched by anyone at any time and how would we cope when your past could be viewed by anyone? Scary propositions!
