Okay, you got me with the title. I can't wait to read it. I know it will be outstanding, at least in some parallel universe.
Hopefully in this one, though I'd settle for it being appealing in any universe that involves Richard Simmons in a spider-shaped robot exoskeleton,
I started reading it and am loving it. That's too many its isn't it.
I've finished part 1 and now working on part 2 (only 13% complete, you were wise not to include page numbers). Since my reading time is limited this could be awhile and I find myself re-reading some of the amazing poetic metaphors and similes. This is more than your average sci-fi novel. The author must be the love child of Douglas Adams and Fyodor Dostoevsky. Try to get that out of your head.P.S. There are several places where the spellchecker tried to sabotage some sentences. Did you use Curious or Rembrandt?
Haha, yes, two of my (obviously) favorite authors!I'd probably opt for Rembrandt, just for the tones and the frumpy subjects. Most important, I'm glad you're enjoying it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

It is March 30, 2050, Eddie's birthday. Sure, he's got a dead-end job exploiting the victims of the global ocean level rise, but at least he's in love. Everything's dandy. Right? Until he gets killed. So much for Eddie. But, wait! Now it's March 30, 2050 all over again and in a world emotionally scarred by aliens Eddie's a psychologically traumatized drug addict who can't shake the idea that he's just been murdered. Before he knows it, he's dead again. And again. And again. Eddie's trapped in a loop of inescapable awful birthdays. Why? And who is this terrifically violent Viola girl who keeps showing up and making him fall in love with her? And if it's not her, who is behind it all?
Inspired by a Scientific American article detailing the twelve likely scenarios that the world could face by 2050, "Eddies in the Space-Time Continuum" covers all of them through one repeating day in the life of one poor repeating schmuck. Twelve futures. Eddie. Viola. A drowning church. A global psychological crisis. A plague of numbers. Nukes. Robot strippers. Talking pants. Aliens. Other weird stuff. And beneath it all: terror, faith, and love.
