Version Control: A Novel

by Dexter Palmer

Although Rebecca Wright has pieced her life back together after a major tragedy, she can’t shake a sense that the world around her feels off-kilter. Meanwhile, her husband’s dedication to his invention, “the causality violation device” (which he would greatly prefer you not call a time machine) has effectively stalled his career—but he may be closer to success than either of them can possibly imagine. Emotionally powerful and wickedly intelligent, Version Control is a stunningly prescient novel about the effects of science and technology on our lives, our friendships, and our sense of self that will alter the way you see the future—and the present.

I was taken by surprise with this book and thoroughly enjoyed the ride. I was expecting the story to be heavier on the science fiction but that wasn't a detriment to the story. The characters, their lives, their choices, their heartaches, were what kept you invested, and the twist of science fiction helped propel it all along. Never though I'd read a 500+ book so fast.
