Un aereo Parigi-New York atterra in una giornata di giugno e viene dirottato a una base militare americana. Quell'aereo ha una particolarità: a bordo ci sono gli stessi passeggeri e lo stesso equipaggio di un altro aereo atterrato tre mesi prima.
Ci si trova davanti a un caso inedito: più di 200 persone si ritrovano a fare i conti con sé stessi di tre mesi prima, nel frattempo alcuni di loro hanno vissuto avventure differenti, mentre altri dovranno condividere persone e cose con il loro nuovo doppio.
Un libro scritto molto bene e con un finale inaspettato. Consigliato.

Oh boy, how to describe the book that I just read… The Anomaly is a genre-bending, multi-perspective, multi-timeline book that will leave you with more questions than answers. It all takes place over the course of a few months, and the satire, science fiction, and dystopia all wrapped up in one brings you to the end of the book in a hurry. It’s a book about empathy, yet also a book about some of the biggest horrors of life. There’s not much more I can write about The Anomaly without spoiling it, so I’d simply suggest reading it and interpreting it as you wish. You may need to search the internet for answers once you’re done, but this book will leave you thinking about life for a long time. Oh, and that last page is a journey, to say the least!

I think I was a bit disappointed with the length of this book - It's quite short and it feels like all the characters could have an entire 300 pages dedicated to their story so getting so little on each character and on the main event that changes their lives is a bit frustrating, but I understand this is also a decision from the author.
A nice quick science-fiction piece that will make you think all the while entertaining you. Worth the read.

I think this could be a 5-star book for many readers. My issues with the book are personal, and more about my taste than the writing.
