Representaion Supposing Books The Light of Other Days

When a brilliant, driven industrialist harnesses the cutting edge of quantum physics to enable people everywhere, at trivial cost, to see one another at all times: around every corner, through every wall, into everyone's most private, hidden, and even intimate moments. It amounts to the sudden and complete abolition of human privacy--forever. Then, as society reels, the same technology proves able to look backwards in time as well. What happens next is a story only Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter could tell. The Light of Other Days is a novel that will change your view of what it is to be human.

Weigh Up Regarding Books The Light of Other Days
This was an interesting idea that was horribly executed. The characters are very flat. The story is not compelling. The story"telling" is the worst. Major plot points are basically skimmed over. I also think the authors tried to address too many issues in one story. Not only are there WormCams, which allow anyone to view any point in spacetime, there's an asteroid on course to destroy the world in 500 years. Oh yeah, and people adapt the WormCam technology to link their minds and create some

Absolutely love this fantastic story! 10 of 10 stars!

This is a well written, readable, and highly interesting science fiction read that speculates how humanity deals with the complete and total lose of privacy. Sadly, this book only gets 4 stars because its plot was not as good as Trigger. Overall, this book gave me some new ideas and concepts to explore. Some of the speculation by the authors became a bit painful at points because of the extended speculation (then again, science fiction is about speculation.) Overall, a shocking, thought

I admit, Im biased towards both authors of Light of Other Days. Clarke needs no explanation, and Baxter is one of those ideas men that rise above the crowd, as he can deliver the goods in both a sweeping scope and an intimate flair. Coming in, I was expecting to be blown away by this collaboration between two of space operas most seminal artists. It didnt happen.Now, the wormcam concept essentially time-travel-like viewing through quantum tunneling is a very interesting scientific thought



This is a book that I really wanted to like--tried to like throughout the long slog of reading it. I've always been a big fan of Clarke since his Rendezvous with Rama and 2001 days, but alas I can't say I enjoyed reading The Light of Other Days quite as much. I realize Clarke wasn't the best with developing three-dimensional characters as he is with explaining esoteric science theories, but is it too much to expect at least one character in a novel of this scope be someone you can cheer on? The

When I was a couple of chapters into this book, I felt that I was going to struggle with it, since I was finding the characters unmemorable (and, when I did remember them, irritating), the plot thin and none of the really big ideas that Clarke is famous for. I was wondering if this was just another senile-period damp squib. However, I'd heard good things about it, so I stuck with it and was eventually rewarded.A driven media entrepreneur, Hiram Patterson, creates a way to use artificial
