Brought - and read - in desperation whilst on holiday where I had run out of books (gasp!).[return][return]I was quickly disappointed and dissatisfied with the story and characters and I remember skimming much of the book as a result. This book (along with "airframe") are the books that finally put me off reading Crichton forever.

Read this when I was still active in the SCA. Not a great book, but a fairly enjoyable one. ( )
  Kim.Sasso | Aug 27, 2023 |
really enjoyed this one. a very interesting take on time travel where there is many different branching time lines. the whole medieval setting was really cool and the characters were solid.

i will say this book was also very graphic with the violence then i was expecting, not that there is anything wrong with that. but just a fair warning for those that never read it. but it was fun and thrilling just like Sphere although i dont put it on the same level as that but it was a good time. my only complaint is that when it shifts between the stuff happening in the medieval and the modern day when things are starting to get really good. it does slow it down a bit but i still think this is great book ( )

La multinacional ITC desarrolla bajo el máximo secreto una revolucionaria y misteriosa tecnología basada en los últimos avances de la física cuántica. Sin embargo, la crítica situación financiera de ITC la obliga a obtener resultados inmediatos para atraer a nuevos inversores. La opción más clara es acelerar el Proyecto Dordogne, de cara al público un proyecto para desenterrar las ruinas de un monasterio medieval en Francia, pero en realidad un arriesgado experimento para poner a prueba una tecnología que permite viajar en el tiempo y su eventual comercialización. Pero cuando se trata de teletransportar personas de un siglo a otro, el menor fallo o descuido puede aparejar consecuencias imprevisibles y pavorosas….

''Timeline'' ends with Doniger delivering a caustic denunciation of the ''mania for entertainment'' that pervades American culture, in which jaded consumers increasingly seek an ''authenticity'' of experience that not even the most sophisticated ''artifice'' can offer. (Doniger wants to market time-travel as the ultimate amusement-park ride.) The irony, of course, is that few entertainment products are as artificial as Crichton's own work. Like shiny windup toys, his novels are diverting -- they're manically entertaining. (I gobbled up ''Timeline'' in a single sitting.) But like anything mechanical, they just end up repeating themselves. Whatever time Crichton is in, he's always writing the same book.

Yet the truth was that the modern world was invented in the Middle Ages. Everything from the legal system, to nation-states, to reliance on technology, to the concept of romantic love had first been established in medieval times. These stockbrokers owed the very notion of a market economy to the Middle Ages. And if they didn't know that, then they didn't know the basic facts of who they were. Why they did what they did. Where they had come from. Professor Johnston often said that if you didn't know history, you didn't know anything. You were a leaf that didn't know it was part of a tree.
Today, everybody expects to be entertained, and they expect to be entertained all the time. Business meetings must be snappy, with bullet lists and animated graphics, so executives aren't bored. Malls and stores must be engaging, so they amuse as well as sell us. Politicians must have pleasing video personalities and tell us only what we want to hear. Schools must be careful not to bore young minds that expect the speed and complexity of television. Students must be amused – everyone must be amused, or they will switch: switch brands, switch channels, switch parties, switch loyalties. This is the intellectual reality of Western society at the end of the century.

In other centuries, human beings wanted to be saved, or improved, or freed, or educated. But in our century, they want to be entertained. The great fear is not of disease or death, but of boredom. A sense of time on our hands, a sense of nothing to do. A sense that we are not amused.
