How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe (Enhanced Edition)
Author: Charles Yu
Publisher: Knopf
ISBN: 0307379884
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
This enhanced eBook includes video, audio, photographic, and linked content, as well as a bonus short story. Hear TAMMY talk. Learn the origins of Minor Universe 31. See the TM-31. Take a trip in it. Photos and illustrations appear as hyperlinked endnotes. Video and audio are embedded directly in text. *Video and audio may not play on all readers. Check your user manual for details. National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 Award winner Charles Yu delivers his debut novel, a razor-sharp, ridiculously funny, and utterly touching story of a son searching for his father . . . through quantum space–time. Minor Universe 31 is a vast story-space on the outskirts of fiction, where paradox fluctuates like the stock market, lonely sexbots beckon failed protagonists, and time travel is serious business. Every day, people get into time machines and try to do the one thing they should never do: change the past. That’s where Charles Yu, time travel technician—part counselor, part gadget repair man—steps in. He helps save people from themselves. Literally. When he’s not taking client calls or consoling his boss, Phil, who could really use an upgrade, Yu visits his mother (stuck in a one-hour cycle of time, she makes dinner over and over and over) and searches for his father, who invented time travel and then vanished. Accompanied by TAMMY, an operating system with low self-esteem, and Ed, a nonexistent but ontologically valid dog, Yu sets out, and back, and beyond, in order to find the one day where he and his father can meet in memory. He learns that the key may be found in a book he got from his future self. It’s called How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe, and he’s the author. And somewhere inside it is the information that could help him—in fact it may even save his life. Wildly new and adventurous, Yu’s debut is certain to send shock waves of wonder through literary space–time.

Mistakes that break the trust of a marriage often lead to the breakup of that most intimate of human relationships. But our God is a God of redemption and reconciliation, especially when it comes to the sanctity of what He has joined together.

After his infidelity is exposed, Paul's life is one of regret, and he comes to the realization that he has sacrificed the two most important things in his life: his wife and children. As he begins reading a novel based upon the Apostle Paul's shipwreck on his journey to Rome (Acts: 27), he realizes the importance of staying on the ship of faith and of marriage. He then embarks upon his own journey to draw closer to God and reconcile with his now ex-wife, Julie. In turn, Julie must wrestle with whether she can ever trust this man again. Will there be forgiveness and reconciliation in this marriage odyssey?
