What did you agree or disagree about? I agreed with the author stating that our understanding is limited by current knowledge and that what is not believable today, may be believable in the future.

Just as sci-fi thinks about the advanced which becomes reality. The themes presented in this book made you think. And that is a good thing.

I like this

However the section about changing the past was more agreeable because I didn't know as much about the subject to now of any arguments against it.
I did like that fact the book questioned old theories in a way. It made a lot more interesting compared to other similar books.

I did like the concept about the alien consciousness. I agree that it did definitely make me think "What if...?" Some of the theories were certainly worth pondering about, even if I didn't particularly care for the actual plot and story telling elements of it.rachel_jacks wrote:I liked the way that the author presented the possibility of the reality of the book.
