Silicon Valley just invented time travel. The consequences are rewriting history.

Meet the Bleb 1, the world’s first consumer time-travel device. It has the potential to change the world for the better—but for now, people are using it to steal limited-edition Doritos from the 1990s, or kill their past selves for TikTok clout.

Behind the device is The Bleb Project, a start-up prepared to do anything to stay ahead, even as the time-travel bubble threatens to destroy reality itself.

As the industry spirals, three people find themselves at the centre of the chaos: an engineer who knows too much, a rival executive trying to impose order, and a journalist uncovering a conspiracy too vast for any tech giant to hide. Together, they confront the truth: the future may still be unwritten, but the past is no longer safe.

After all, those who do not understand history are doomed to screw it up.

A funny and distressingly realistic depiction of how Silicon Valley would handle time machines as a consumer product. Propelled by awesome characters and inventive twists—and a bittersweet ending that I can't stop thinking about.

Andy Weir, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of Project Hail Mary and The Martian
