Brief Thoughts on Robert Charles Wilson's Spin

I. The day that a bunch of Alien Space Bats make the Earth subject to local changes in the laws of physics for their own inscrutable purposes, I'm going to be calling them Alien Space Bats, and that's that. No way 'Hypotheticals' is ever going to catch on.

II. Otherwise, a fine book. The book that Chronoliths was trying to be, I think. Better than that one because the characters are simply more interesting and their lives more tightly linked to the SF-nal changes in the world.

III. I'd love to read a sequel to this book, about what happens as people begin to explore the post-Spin worlds(s). But that book, if it existed? ("Arch"?) Probably not a Robert Charles Wilson kind of book.
