Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Review: 2020.123 (A Word for Authors)
Pro: The prose is quite beautiful.
Con: The science is pretty bad. If you managed to jump a few light years from Earth, you’d be seeing photons from the past, yes, but how in the world would you magnify that enough to see (never mind hear) people meeting? And the idea of binary stars losing their gravitational attraction for each other because they quit loving each other was just painful.
