However, I expected to have more answers to the questions the author raises! If physical developments used to justify certain events are not tjs more accessible, they remain nevertheless understandable. But above all, it turns out in the end Wilson from an ultra-simple sociological principle: that of self-fulfilling prophecy, but the cause of which he gives strictly NO information !!!! In the end, the exciting time paradoxes and the fascinating idea behind the book (monuments celebrating military victories taking place 20 years after onset) remains without any real explanation !!!! And the temporal paradox loses all consistency is because without the early start of a plausible explanation (unlike small jewels that examined time travel in the image of "Back to the Future", where despite their contradictions, there is an attempted explanation of such paradoxes).
In short, while I was expecting to read an excellent book of SF, I come away more than disappointed. I did not feel like wasting my time, but I'm not far away. Having bought Ubik along the Chronoliths, I regret not having started with that one!
I can reiterate the experience with Wilson Spin (I did not blow me venture of buying new ...), which I have read so much good, but if it also proves disappointing in will be finished by this author in my case!
