Silicon Valley just invented time travel. Now, three reluctant heroes race to save the timeline before the resulting tech bubble bursts—and takes all of reality with it—in this satirical, hilariously plausible oral history.

"Funny and distressingly realistic . . . propelled by awesome characters and inventive twists—and a bittersweet ending that I can't stop thinking about.”—Andy Weir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Project Hail Mary and The Martian


Every few years, Silicon Valley invents a new technology that changes everything, whether you like it or not.

Bored with AI and crypto? Meet the Bleb 1, the world’s first “consumer temporal interface”—a dangerous but powerful personal time machine. And the usual suspects are racing to monetize it.

Swaggering startup bros. Swarming venture capitalists. Sociopathic billionaires.

Sure, they have grandiose dreams to change reality as we know it.

But in the meantime, they’re here to steal limited-edition Doritos from the 1990s, kill their past selves for TikTok clout, and drag the surveillance state into the fourth dimension.

As the time-travel bubble soars to epic heights, a few unlikely heroes scramble to end up on the winning side—and, just maybe, to save reality along the way. This oral history, packed with exclusive interviews and secret corporate documents, is their story. Let it be a warning to us all.

After all, those who do not understand history are doomed to screw it up.

Reviews

Propelled by awesome characters and inventive twists—and a bittersweet ending that I can’t stop thinking about.”—Andy Weir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Project Hail Mary and The Martian

“Equal parts cutting satire and page-turning science fiction, with razor-sharp observations and several passages that left me crying with laughter . . . I tore through it.”—Jakob Kerr, Edgar Award–winning author of Dead Money
