Tomorrow and Tomorrow

The thing I love about really far future science fiction (which is what this turns into) is that there's always a point where hard SF is basically fantasy in chrome, plausible handwaving. Having said that, this story is quite entertaining.

This was such a WEIRD book. I loved it at first, but then it seemed to drag on. "100 years later," "800 years later," that is fine. But when it gets to "30,000 years later," and "one million years later..." "...five million years later" "two billion years later" and so on...yeah, that gets tiring. I really, truly enjoyed hearing about the different progressions of "humankind" throughout the eons, though. I could have done without the weak arc of the male protagonist's love for his wife driving him through billions of years.

An ambitious book that begins in the present day and ends billions of years later at the end of the Universe. Considering the time span, it's quite a short book. Sheffeld takes the reader on a grand tour of how humanity and human society might change and be changed by technology as ages pass. The plot is a little lack luster at times, but the hard science edged world building is a wonder to behold. Reads in many ways like a travelogue through Future Time.

the obsession of a love that stands the test of time itself, from (close enough to) today all the way to the eschaton, and perhaps beyond... fascinating ideas along the way...

A man obsession to find a cure for his wife become a journey through time and space.

This book is well written. As I'm not a native English speaker, I don't find the English too difficult to read. Although this is a hard-sf novel, the science jargon is not too hard and not too many, with help from appendices of this book.

The time span, the culture, the technologies are 'believable'. The writer's imagination overwhelmed me.

This one just blew me away! Hard science fiction at its best. A real classic.
