When I was young and multiverse was just a theory, I was worthless: the brown girl-child of an addict in one of those wards outside the walls of Wiley City that people don’t get out of or go to. But then Adam Bosch, our new Einstein and the founder of the institute that pays me, discovered a way to see into other universes. Of course, humanity couldn’t just look. We had to enter. We had to touch and taste and take. The other facet of this novel is a parable about power and how people in high-up positions use and misuse their stature to further their own ends.
Review: The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson Review: The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson
Every traverser has a more experienced mentor...I get the honor of having Jean Sanogo..." Papa Jean encouraged Cara to better herself by becoming an analyst... study world stats and company internal textbooks...stop traversing! To start with, this story is extremely hard to follow. I'm honestly baffled because the concept of a parallel universe isn't that difficult to grasp; it's just like our universe but with a few minor changes. And yet, the worldbuilding here is maximumly awkward and lumbering, turning small differences into obscure and confusing concepts that were never fully explained. We’ve had this conversation five times this week and it always ends right here, where her concern is outweighed by the effort it takes to argue with me. She nods, but the look she gives my arms lasts long enough for me to notice. It’s when she notices my noticing that she finally looks away. Extremely limited test pressing edition of the new Howling Giant album for the most diehard collectors!The Space Between Worldsis a riveting and detailed parallel universe sci-fi novel with a lot to say about fortune, privilege and belonging.” —Dr. Alice Violett Most of the worlds that the Eldridge Institute can visit are fairly similar, although some have strange diseases and climates, but there’s some consistent lines that they share: there’s systematic inequality between the dwellers of Ashtown and the affluent folks who live in Wiley City, where the Bosch and his Institute are located. The worlds that Cara has to navigate aren’t just the alternate realities that she’s sent to: it’s also navigating those two different worlds of secure, ultra-wealthy and poverty. In many ways, she’s an outsider in all of them, not only having to adjust to her new world, but maintain her place in Wiley City long enough to become a citizen and escape from that harsh world.
The Space Between Worlds - Wikipedia
The Space Between Worlds is absolutely riveting during the first 50%. It raises some really important questions. How would your life be any different if you had 374 different versions of you? Despite your best efforts, are there certain factors in your life that are always with you? The Space Between Worlds is a 2020 science fiction novel by Micaiah Johnson. It is Johnson's debut novel. The novel takes place in the near future, where travel between parallel universes is possible. Now, let's imagine you have a powerful, lifechanging secret with unimaginable consequences. What do you do? I know, I know: you stand in the middle of a jolly croud and blurt in to the accompaniment of fireworks. Right?Had there been no this twist, this would've been another dreary parallel-worlds-based read. But this! This twisty made it all so much more stand out! Another me is gone. As I walk into the valley, I’m a little more valuable walking down the mountain than I was walking up. I really did love the set up for this book and the idea of how the multiverses worked and how they were used by the major corporation. The science has no real explanations about how it works but I was okay with that. I really enjoyed the limitations on multiverse travel. The main character, Cara, was fun and I loved the hints of mystery about her from the very beginning.
