No, not the whole book, I read a couple of reviews and some passages online (Kindle Cloud account). Time loops, many-worlds and alternative time lines mixed with familiar characters.

Read it, dude... it's worth the time

I'll put in on my winter book queue.

 

As expected, it was most probably a false alarm. Although the lack of radio signals does not entirely rule out the existence of a civilization... who knows, maybe there are other more efficient forms of communication?

 

The SETI antenna is pretty cool. The Aliens must be using a sub-space channel we're not tuned to.

Yeah and like our amateur radio operators, the Aliens must be listening to us and swapping stories ... "did you hear those crazy Earthlings last night?"

I saw some of this Church of the Sub-genius stuff in the 1970's and thought it was strictly from the world of comic books. Am I right? No physical manifestation of a church building? No meetings, no permits, no paperwork for the government?

I might be looking stupid here, but I had the same first impression of The Church of Scientology, and now, they're all over the place!

This short video by the BBC is very much worth watching.
