Detective-Lieutenant Gene Trimble faces an increasing number of bizarre suicides in a world struggling to come to terms with its place in a multiverse of different timelines, where every decision ever made by anyone becomes an alternate universe.

In this short story, Niven takes a look at the darker aspects of the multiple universes theory, especially as they impact human psychology.

I'm not sure what to say. In one universe I loved this book. I another universe very close by I hated it. In another universe I drove my car off a bridge to get away from it.

Captivating short story that makes you think about how your world would work if traveling to alternate earths was as mundane as taking the corporate shuttle. I liked how it was presented thru a cop procedural. But, just as soon as the concept takes shape, it ends too abruptly. Still, it’s free and Pinchot’s narration is great.

Quite a few of these are free. I recommend From a Foggy Night as a better, fully realized and suspenseful short story. I recommend passing on Becalmed in Hell, which was pointless, even for free.

Why not? Butterfly effect in short story

This story is an all-time great. The way alternate timelines are presented in snippets rather than directly is fascinating.

One of the Best

Good but not great. Hope the writer can review various plots and finish the story with a plausible ending

Listened to this a couple of weeks ago on a walk and it’s been on my mind ever since

I thought it was great

Less a linear story and more of a giant monologue. Not enough plot for me

loved the story. hated the add-ons

Why start a story, build a premise of interest then just say no more, done. Itruly don't understand the point. Waste of time.

why?
