science fiction-teleporting/transportation

[Taylor]

About 5 years ago I read a book with the forward discussion scientists discovering they could transport a book across a room. This led to other experiments and discoveries that went awry. I swore it was a Crichton book but seem to be wrong.

[Kell I Am]

Are you sure it wasn't Timeline by Crichton? It's been a while since I've read it, but that sounds familiar...

Taylor, are you still looking for this or did you find it?
