"A timely, speculative thought experiment in perspective, privilege, and identity." &;Kirkus"The conceit behind Shusterman&;s latest is truly unique. While it exhibits the author&;s usual storytelling aplomb, it also manages to delve into more serious and timely subject matter, such as racism, sexism, and homophobia. Despite these heavy topics, the story still moves at a lively pace and, thanks to a zany sci-fi twist, manages to pack in a few laughs as well." &;BooklistAll it takes is one hit on the football field, and suddenly Ash&;s life doesn&;t look quite the way he remembers it.Impossible though it seems, he&;s been hit into another dimension&;and keeps on bouncing through worlds that are almost-but-not-really his own.The changes start small, but they quickly spiral out of control as Ash slides into universes where he has everything he&;s ever wanted, universes where society is stuck in the past&;universes where he finds himself looking at life through entirely different eyes.And if he isn&;t careful, the world he&;s learning to see more clearly could blink out of existence&;This high-concept novel from the National Book Award-winning and New York Times-bestselling author of the Arc of a Scythe series tackles the most urgent themes of our time, making this a must-buy for readers who are starting to ask big questions about their own role in the universe.
