Connie Willis can be as brilliantly funny as she is insightful about contemporary culture and the complex interactions of human existence. This wonderful story had me giggling even as I marvelled at the cleverness of the plot, it's theoretical underpinning of group dynamics coupled with the butterfly effect, and the oh so accurate portraits of people we daily interact with. I love all of Ms. Willis' work, but this book is undeniably my favourite, simply for the quirkiness and humour she excels at.
