Résumé
What if you could see alternate timelines?What if you could pick and choose between them?Lucy Montgomery is the 99% -- buried in student loan debt and pissed off at a rigged system. Francis Gordon Woodley, IV, is the top of the 1% -- heir to a corporate empire that can buy or topple entire nations. Manipulated by anarchists, Lucy sets out to destroy corporate power so that classless democracy can bloom into worldwide utopia.
With his oligarch friends, Francis sets out to destroy government, unleash free-market forces, and spawn worldwide utopia. With Lucy and Francis on a collision course, the Time Weavers race to save humanity. But every time weave they find leads to a hundred-year dark age, except one. But for that one timeline to emerge into reality, Simon must encourage Lucy, the woman that should have been his daughter, to assassinate his mentor's son, Francis.
Simon Wentworth -- confused physicist who believes he can choose the course of history from the intersections of past and future realities. Fiona Black -- optimistic proprietor of The Intoxicating Page, a bar-bookstore where literature is matched to cocktails. Vladimir "Volodya" Kazimer -- pessimistic Russian hacker whose software calculates the probabilities for different futures. Winter -- cute little doggy.
Together, they are The Time Weavers.

À propos de l'auteur
Biographie de Ransom Stephens
Ransom Stephens writes novels with characters that make you laugh and cry and take you away for a while. He once searched for the Holy Grail in Cornwall and Wales but settled for a cracked coffee mug. His books are based on simple, uncomplicated topics like science vs religion in The God Patent, technology vs environmentalism in The Sensory Deception, oligarchy vs anarchy in The 99% Solution, and love vs money in Too Rich to Die, but in his latest, The Book of Bastards, he goes back to the old standard, good vs evil, and offers readers what they always welcome, a story of bawdiness washed down with a sip of moral justice.His first popular science book, The Left Brain Speaks The Right Brain Laughs: a look at the neuroscience of innovation & creativity, is an irreverent take on how our brains work and how we can work them better.
