The whole book reads like a dream, each vignette flowing into the next. The concept of the whole time-future-past-present has always fascinated me and that's probably one of the reasons I liked the book. For some reason, I felt the book had a really dream-like quality, maybe also because of Lightman's language and style. It makes you think about all the possibilities there are, like, what if these kinds of worlds really did exist? Could the small action of kicking up dust actually prevent the creation of the European Union? These minute details snowball over the course of time into something much much larger. Such a possibility is both thrilling and frightening.
Makes me feel very...existentialist.
