'A funny and distressingly realistic depiction of how Silicon Valley would handle time machines as a consumer product... awesome characters and inventive twists.' — Andy Weir, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of Project Hail Mary and The Martian The most hotly anticipated science fiction novel of 2027 - a hilarious, razor-sharp time travel thriller perfect for fans of Andy Weir, Ernest Cline and The Circle.
WHAT IF SILICON VALLEY INVENTED TIME TRAVEL? Not to save humanity. To boost engagement. Meet the Bleb 1: the world's first consumer time-travel device.
It has the power to rewrite history—but instead, people are using it to steal discontinued snacks, settle petty grudges, and go viral by murdering their past selves. Behind it all is The Bleb Project, the start-up determined to dominate the future, no matter how many timelines they destroy along the way. As reality begins to fracture, three unlikely people find themselves at the centre of the chaos:• An engineer who knows too much.
• A rival tech executive trying to stop disaster. • A journalist uncovering a conspiracy bigger than any company can contain. Because when history becomes editable, no one can control the consequences.
Funny, wildly inventive and terrifyingly plausible, Paradox Inc. is a brilliant satire of Big Tech, startup culture and humanity's endless talent for making revolutionary inventions... for all the wrong reasons.
