2021, I Hate You Already (+ a Reading, Blogging an.Kali Wallace: "Dead Space" (ARC Review).Adrian Tchaikovsky: "One Day All This Will Be Your. A smart, funny tale of time-travel and paradox from award-winning author Adrian Tchaikovsky in a beautiful signed, limited-edition hardcover.Judging from the official blurb, one would expect the lead to perform a noble act or two in order to avoid more destruction, and maybe to go back in time in order to prevent it to happen at all.but that's not the case, because after all, humanity has never been able to abstain from breaking everything that is - even time itself eventually - so why bother? Also, didn't going back in time use to be a huge chunk of the problem, until it became THE problem? And isn't time irreparably damaged anyway? Part philosopher, part misanthrope and part cynic (but with a dark humor streak), the nameless lead - supposedly the last man living in the last future - just want to keep enjoying his high-tech (mock) Arcadia and playing with all of history.or what shards of it remain.except one day (so to speak, because in the last future there aren't "days" anymore) a big, totally unexpected "something" thwarts his plans big time (or so to speak, because time.well, you know the drill). The other characters have their own agenda as well, and will stop at nothing until they get what they want.except they're not evil. The main character is an anti-hero if you ever saw one.but the author manages to have us sympathise with him.
I usually reserve 5-star ratings for books that - among other things - sport characters who really vibe with me on some level, but the rules don't apply here. I mean, it knows what it wants to accomplish, and it's perfect in that regard.
