The Man Who Folded Himself by David Gerrold
4.0
3.5 stars. This was a fun and quick time travel book. Felt more like a thought experiment than a story with a plot. Quite unlike anything else I've ever read. What if you could travel through time and spend all your time.. with yourself, with multiple other selves. Some of the things in the book were quite unexpected considering it was written in 1973.
I'll admit I freaked out a little when it predicted the twin tower attacks, until I realized it had gotten an update in 2003, phew. Tho the quote form the book saying "It's a pretty stable world, especially in the years between 1950 and 2020" still felt a bit too on the nose/prescient given the whole pandemic/war thing we've got going on currently.
