Synopsis

""A timely, speculative thought experiment in perspective, privilege, and identity."" —Kirkus""The conceit behind Shusterman’s latest is truly unique. While it exhibits the author’s usual storytelling aplomb, it also manages to delve into more serious and timely subject matter, such as racism, sexism, and homophobia. Despite these heavy topics, the story still moves at a lively pace and, thanks to a zany sci-fi twist, manages to pack in a few laughs as well."" —BooklistAll it takes is one hit on the football field, and suddenly Ash’s life doesn’t look quite the way he remembers it.Impossible though it seems, he’s been hit into another dimension—and keeps on bouncing through worlds that are almost-but-not-really his own.The changes start small, but they quickly spiral out of control as Ash slides into universes where he has everything he’s ever wanted, universes where society is stuck in the past…universes where he finds himself looking at life through entirely different eyes.And if he isn’t careful, the world he’s learning to see more clearly could blink out of existence…This high-concept novel from the National Book Award-winning and New York Times-bestselling author of the Arc of a Scythe series tackles the most urgent themes of our time, making this a must-buy for readers who are starting to ask big questions about their own role in the universe.

When I read the premise for this book, I was super intrigued and excited: a book about the multiverse from the same author who wrote the Arc of a Scythe series? Count. Me. In. Unfortunately, after reading this book, I'm left with a lot of mixed feelings about it. This book is plagued by the same pr......more

Ouch. White straight cis dude protagonist explaining PoC, queer people and women how their daily struggles are to fix. Shame, because I really like the author, but this book was so so insensitive with such important topics. I get why publishers might think it’s a good idea to go the »straight white a......more

Goodreads review by Aleshanee on October 23, 2021

Der Protagonist Ash erzählt hier aus seiner Perspektive alles unglaubliche, was ihm passiert. Eine jugendliche, frische und quirlige Sprache, die einen mitreißt und immer wieder Witze einbaut, aber auch ernste Szenen einfließen lässt. Ash ist ein typischer, weißer Teenager, der nicht groß darüber na......more
