Comic-Con Round-Up: For Adults

How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe – Charles Yu

I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: my favorite book from Comic-Con this year, hands-down, was Charles Yu’s How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe. Since I’ve already written a full review I’ll be brief here: HTLSIASFU (quite a mouthful, even as an acronym) is about a time machine repairman and his search for his father, who is lost somewhere in quantum space time. It’s deeply emotional, startlingly funny and mind-bendingly clever.

And this week, over at Underwire, you can enter to win the Book From Nowhere, a version of Yu’s book printed on silver-foil paper and bound in metal. Just be careful what you do with it. You don’t want to end up being shot by your past self.
