Version Control: A Novel

"If you share my anxiety about the imminence of self-driving cars (let’s be honest; it freaks me out), Dexter Palmer has already got your number. Version Control is hard to classify: science fiction, literary fiction, thriller. It takes place in a recognizable near-future; our experiments are its reality. Rebecca Wright is married to a physicist who is endeavoring to create a “causality violation device.” (He hates when you call it a “time machine.”) Rebecca’s growing unease with the world around her clearly relates to that device, those self-driving cars and the Wrights’ strange yet lovely son — but I’ll let you find out the rest."
