The Telescoping Effect

Rate this book
On the brink of the 100 year anniversary of the Red Summer of 1919 and the Solar Eclipse of 1919 that would confirm the theory of relativity, an anthropologist seeking to dig up her own family roots becomes entangled in a web of retrocurence that touches upon all of these events. She will discover, in turn, how each of these events have not only shaped the curve of her own family tree, but how they have shifted the very fabric of space-time.

This book is something special, a story that explores time travel while staying true to its emotional core. Though short, this book covers technical ground easily, leaving plenty of time for events to build into the thought provoking climax.

This quick read by my former colleague was my first introduction to Afrofuturism — eager to read more.

Loved this speculative short Story. Intergenerational tale of how a great great granddaughter worked with her ancestor to tried to save us from race riots. Dope story.
