Robert J Sawyer: Flash Forward.


I have been following the Television series, Flash Forward, all season and find it very interesting and entertaining.
The series is based on Sawyer's book of the same title. The main thrust of the story deals with destiny and free will in relation to one knowing one's future and one's ability to alter it. The unique mechanism of this scenario is that of possible parallel and multiple universes that coexist together, on divergent paths, and possibly intersecting one another for brief periods. There is even mention of a of a very interesting (for myself anyway) concept of: The Garden of Forking Paths (Jorge Luis Borges). I have always been fascinated by this concept.
Rollback, is another of his novels that looks interesting to me too.


If anyone reading this post has anything to offer about this novel or any others of his please offer up an opinion.
