In March 2021, an Air France flight from Paris to New York flies into a violent storm and lands safely at JFK. In June, the same plane with the same passengers arrives again, and the people on board now exist in two copies. A cast of ordinary characters is pulled into the question: a hitman, a lawyer, a writer, an architect and a singer who now meet their doubles. Governments, scientists and the military scramble to work out what happened, with ideas about simulation and identity at stake.
A natural pick for readers who enjoy speculative fiction written like a literary ensemble piece, with wit and a puzzle at its center. It also works for anyone who has wondered how they would react to meeting a second version of themselves.
Balanced in tone; a moderate read.
Best for readers like The Story Seeker. Which reader are you?
