Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Time, and Other Nonsense follows the antics of the employees of an ethereal corporation known as the Syndicate of Multiversal Control. These idiots exist to ensure the timelines across all universes makes sense, and builds toward the ultimate vision of The Big Man. They are mostly failures when it comes to making anything sensible. Jay and Dave are the oldest field agents and hate each other. Dave is constantly thwarted by the shenanigans of Dylan and Marty, who seem to exist only to cause confusion, chaos, and ignorance. This story follows the ragtag, uncooperative "team" who need to hunt down a rogue syndicate employee who has hidden himself in the human timeline and causing a lot of damage. Adrian, the rogue agent in question, entered human time to enlist the help of computer pioneer Alan Turing by appealing to his intrigue in the electronics available in the ethereal world where the Syndicate's corporate office is. It turns out the device used to control time is in fact the greatest example of intellectual property theft as it is a modified version of the Turing machine. Come on the adventure satirizing office politics, the ineptitude of corporate influence on humanity, and the complete insanity of interdepartmental project management. It's a fun nod to Terry Pratchett, Monty Python, Douglas Adams, Christopher Moore, and the like, while maintaining an original plot that uses all of the fun humour retained by an American who enjoys British absurdity. We have amateur theoretical physics, we have satire, we have nonsensical computer stuff, and most of all we've got time travel. It's everything that would irritate experts in the field and entertain the rest of us. Imagine if your office mates were responsible for controlling time itself. Not just your friends, but the idiots and enemies you work with. That's what's in store in this super fun read. Mostly I just want your money, so buy the book. Do it now.
