It's about mother daughter relationships and grief, is sci-fi and thriller and multiverse assassins, it's a mother wound. I love the writing as well, Beukes has such an interesting way of putting things, millennial but make it literary. Bridget’s mom taught her to use dreamworm to visit alternate realities, but then Bridget grew up and decided it was fake. When her mom died, though, she found more dreamworm in her mom’s effects—and decided she had to go find her mom, who must have jumped out of her body to some other reality. Also, other people can jump realities, but they are not benign, nor are the effects of being jumped into. As with her other work, Beukes takes an idea that’s been done before but does it very differently, drawing our attention to the costs to the jumpees and the various ways in which lives can go wrong. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Twenty-four-year-old Bridge is paralyzed by choices: all the other lives she could have lived, the decisions she could have made. And now, who she should be in the wake of her mother's unexpected death. Jo was a maverick neuroscientist fixated on an artifact she called the "dreamworm" that she believed could open the doors to other worlds. It was part of Jo's grand delusion, her sickness, and it cost her everything, including her relationship with her daughter. But in packing up Jo's house, Bridge discovers Jo's obsession hidden amongst her things. And the dreamworm works, exactly the way it's supposed to, the way Bridge remembers from when she was a little girl. Suddenly Bridge can step into other realities, otherselves. In one of them, could she find out what really happened to her mother? What Bridge doesn't know is that there are others hunting for the dreamworm--who will kill to get their hands on it"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

So this is weird and confusing. Multiverse using worm thread to hop into alternate versions of yourself.
Very little character work and the writing style wasn’t for me. Wasn’t worth pushing through til the end. ( )
