Ag riddle lost in time5/28/2023 ![]() In the grand tradition of world-changing technologies, however - Philip K. So, yes, that “a fate worse than Absolom” becomes a common phrase in this world isn’t perhaps all that surprising. ![]() Well, no, it banishes them to the equivalent of the past, creating instead a parallel universe so that the effect upon our world is minimal - the questions it could raise in the fossil records of the universes they’re sent to doesn’t seem to bother anyone too greatly - and leaving these irredeemably violent types to fight out with nature and whatever creatures might be found on that reality’s version of Pangea. The technology in question is the Absolom machine, which works by banishing criminals found guilty of heinous crimes millions of years into the past and abandoning them there without any chance of return. ![]() Riddle’s Lost in Time (2022) posits a near future of 2027 in which all major crime has been virtually eradicated by the creation of a deterrent so unpleasant that it makes even the most hardened criminals blanch. Another modern mystery promising an impossible crime, which I’m reading for my own interest on the pretext that it could pique the interest of the internet’s expert on the subgenre, TomCat, and another crossover mystery in this cause, with crime and SF aspects jostling for position.Ī.G. ![]()
