Dissolution by Nicholas Binge
"This is one of the best standalone science fiction books I've read this year. I don't want to boil it down to comparisons; nevertheless, I can't help but think that this is like if Blake Crouch were British and wrote a version of Inception. Yet, inst" Read more of this review »

"omggggg just brilliant! This book is just screaming to be adapted as a Christopher Nolan movie. "

Dissolution by Nicholas Binge
"4.5

The speculative sci-fi was on a great level for me - enough to feel like there was complexity and mystery, but not trying to talk over the heads of the readers. Time travel can get messy real fast, and I felt like this book did well at keeping it " Read more of this review »

“He smiled and stood up. “Because that’s what life is. A constant climb. Eternal growth. The continual battle against entropy. It doesn’t matter what the destination is, or what’s at the top; all that matters is that you keep climbing. That’s what it means to be alive, Harold. That’s what it means to be human.”
Nicholas Binge, Ascension

“Whatever is going to happen, it’s going to happen. It’s already happened. It’s happening right now. It’s up to you to decide how you make that count. How beautiful you let that be.”
Nicholas Binge, Ascension

“People like to think empathy means being able to imagine how you'd feel in a certain situation,' she said, head tilted, holding my gaze. 'But it really doesn't. It means being able to imagine how they'd feel, and how it might be completely different from you.”
Nicholas Binge, Ascension
