Honestly, I don’t think I am going to finish this anthology. I usually like Scalzi okay, but this story took way too long to get going and even one you get to the point of the story, I just didn’t care that much about it. That said, the ending was a game changer, but that was way too late for me to even really think this was a good story. I did think that Scalzi did a great job with time travel, paradoxes, etc. I usually don’t like time travel stories though because I think most people don’t follow the the idea the whole way through.
The story follows a man who is a time travel technician whose job is to send clients back to the time period that they request. The story is very slow and it honestly in my mind just seemed sad throughout. The ending definitely drove that point home. Time travel to undo and or experience things seems to never end well.
