For my next book I chose Charles Yu’s How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe. It is a novel about a guy who spends his life in TM-31 Recreational Time Travel Device. He fixes time machines. The timeline of the book is very confusing because he isn’t really inside of time, he is outside of it. His father invented the time machine but nobody knows where he is. The main character reminds me of myself because he spends most of his time at a computer, although his computer is probably a lot more complex than mine, a computer is a computer.
His computer has an AI system built into it and the AI is a woman. I find this amusing because he talks about her like she is real and sometimes I mistake her for a real person. There is a section where he talks about his whole life is full of boxes. This made me think of my life and how I put everything into boxes of importance in my head. It also made me think of band because we make boxes in marching band so often. So far I am enjoying the book and I hope that doesn’t change.
