This book recently came out and I really enjoyed reading it! I was a little worried it was just a Cover Trap but no! I think the book has great commentary about the current state of society, specifically in the West, and I really like how the author used the Time Machine as a device to build hope instead of having it be a time travel story.
There were some parts of the novel that had me laughing out loud too. She showed a lot of insight into Internet culture, generational ennui, and other just mundane things about our daily existence on this planet. All while speaking on environmental issues- I feel like this is what Lydia Millet wants to be (sorry Lydia I've read your books and just can't).
The little blurb about the kids suing their parents gave me a good laugh!
Anyway, seems like it's not a very popular book, I'm interested to hear other perspectives. If anyone did like this novel, I'd recommend Version Control by Dexter Palmer. And if anyone has any other books where Time Travel is used more metaphorically than a book ABOUT time travel I'd be really interested to hear about it!
