Large Hadron Collider goes online
by Rob - September 10th, 2008.Filed under: FlashForward.
Today, I’m flashing back to my 1999 Aurora Award-winning science-fiction novel Flashforward.
Flashforward tells of the first experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. Today the first beam was sent around the 27-kilometer-long tunnel of the Large Hadron Collider. There are news reports of it everywhere; here’s one from the BBC, and another from the Associated Press.
Congratulations, CERN!
Flashforward is available in paperback from Tor, as an unabridged Audio book from Audible.com and iTunes, and in a Kindle edition.
More information about the book, including the opening chapters and links to online retailers, is here.
Note: thanks to Tor’s splitting the title into two words on the front cover (but not the back cover, spine or elsewhere), sometimes the book is listed online as Flash Forward, not Flashforward.
Besides winning the Aurora Award, Flashforward also won the Premio UPC (the world’s largest cash-prize for SF writing), received a starred review (denoting a book of exceptional merit) from Publishers Weekly, and has been continuously in print for nine years now.
