 This story starts with the idea that when the Large Hadron Collider was first activated, every person in the world blacked out for about two minutes. And during those two minutes, they experienced extremely sharp visions of what they would be doing 20 years from now. The ABC television show, which was inspired by this book, was much more complex. And I also felt it did a better job of explaining what was going on. But the TV show was clearly going to end up going in circles, just like X-Files are lost. So it was just as well that it was canceled. The book, on the other hand, has a really strange ending.
