How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe by Charles Yu
5.0
If you love your dad, you'll probably wanna read this. If you hate him, you'd probably wanna read this. If you have weird feelings about your dad, you need to read this.
I loved this book, almost couldn't put it down. I love metafiction, and this book is chock full of it. A lot of the concepts were hard to get, would have been harder to get had I not already read books like this. I think the approach to time travel in this is really good and satisfying, and definitely not something I have read before.
I love how the books plays with itself, how it uses the fact that is is a book and is the book in the narrative, and how it explains itself and time to the reader. I can't wait to forget what happens, and make it my own time machine when I read it again.
