Here & There: A Novel

by Joshua V. Scher

It was supposed to be a simple proof of concept. The physics were sound. Over one hundred teleportation experiments had already been successfully performed...

Debate rages over whether the Reidier Test’s disastrous outcome resulted from human error, government conspiracy, or sabotage. No one has actual knowledge of the truth. But hidden from the public eye, there exists a government report commissioned from criminal psychologist Dr. Hilary Kahn, chronicling the events that took place.

Dr. Kahn disappeared without a trace.

Now her son Danny has unearthed and revealed the report, fueling controversy over the details of Reidier’s quest to reforge the fabric of reality and hold his family together. Exposed with little chance of finding his mother, Danny goes underground to investigate. But nothing can prepare him for what he discovers.

In this thrilling saga, a paradigm-shattering feat may alter humanity’s future as quantum entanglement and teleportation collide.

Well that got dark.

By about page 300 I thought I knew what the outcome of the Incident actually was, and I'm still reasonably certain I'm right about that, though there's some ambiguity. But having my opinions about a character totally flipped so dramatically took the book from simply fascinating to "HOLLY COW! I won't forget this book any time soon!"

It is dense. And if you're the sort of person that enjoys experimental science then this is no bother to read. Let me put it this way, if you read Seveneves or Blindsight and came out with your brain intact and happy, you'll be fine.

Incidentally, I really have a better understanding of certificates and public/private keys now. That's been really helpful at work and my colleagues now think I'm a wizard.
