Might Have Been on April 05, 2013

Einstein was right about a unified theory. In Might Have Been, Sterling adroitly crafts a multiverse, carefully threaded together with the delicate strings of theoretical physics. Put a brilliant, Caulfieldesque physicist and an exuberant Manic Pixie Dream Girl in the same room, toss in a tangled history and it's like antimatter igniting. But behind the wordplay and the stunning level of erudition, the larger-than-life characters dig deep into terra firma with each turn of the page. Might Have Been allows the readers to take a final, longing look over the shoulder, weighing out the words unsaid, stealing all the kisses left untouched and reclaiming all the bridges broken and torn asunder. It celebrates the tenacity of hope and mourns the love that never was. The sex is passionate, hot, and the epitome of geek fantasies. Certain scenes are sure to burn into minds of readers, and probably inspire a venture or two. There aren't many books in this likeness, and from the unexpected, theoretically discordant elements, Sterling has successfully crafted a unique and compelling novella that seamlessly ties erudition with emotion. It's sexy, it's smart, and holy mother of Hadron, it's bloody fantastic.
