The Light of Other Days - by Arthur C Clarke & Stephen Baxter (Paperback)

About the Book

From the bestselling author of 2001 and Childhood's End, a novel of the transformation of humanity

Book Synopsis

From Arthur C. Clarke, the brilliant mind that brought us 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Stephen Baxter, one of the most cogent SF writers of his generation, comes a novel of a day, not so far in the future, when the barriers of time and distance have suddenly turned to glass.

When a brilliant, driven industrialist harnesses cutting-edge physics to enable people everywhere, at trivial cost, to see one another at all times--around every corner, through every wall--the result is the sudden and complete abolition of human privacy, forever. Then the same technology proves able to look backward in time as well.

The Light of Other Days is a story that will change your view of what it is to be human.
