6/29/2023 0 Comments Spin by Robert Charles WilsonWilson also uses the flashbacks to explain how and why the “spin membrane” was put around the earth. Through the liberal use of flashbacks, it becomes apparent why Tyler is sick and how he fell ill. The primary character in the book is Tyler Dupree, who, when the book opens, is struggling through some sort of illness which Wilson chooses not to explain. On the surface, this seems like a story line that would be hard to develop, but Wilson does a great job of stretching your imagination to grasp the ramifications of a universe that ages faster than earth as well the possibilities it presents. The earth has been placed in a “spin membrane” which slows time down for the inhabitants of earth while the universe continues to age naturally. The premise behind Spin is very intriguing. Spin was published in 2005 and is the opening of a three part book series that includes Axis and Vortex. For my next dive into science fiction, I chose to read Spin by Robert Charles Wilson.
