Updates to Practical Issues in InfoSec haven’t been as regular lately as planned. I have been up to my ears in work from the paying job. However, in my down-time I did have a chance to read Timeline by Michael Crichton.
The book is based upon the presupposition that quantum mechanics allows for travel between multiverses (multiple universes) thus giving the illusion of time travel. The antagonist of the story is a very wealthy geek who has secretly developed the technology to allow travel from the current universe to other universes. Of course he takes advantage of this for financial gain.
In typical Crichton style, generally accepted science is extended to weave together a plausible and entertaining story. The book is an easy read and an entertaining diversion.
