SF/F Review – The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August
deathisbad.substack.com
The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, by Claire North Synopsis: Groundhog Day, but the time loop duration is Harry's entire life, and he has to stop the world from ending hundreds of years in the future. Book Review: When I say "the time loop duration is Harry's entire life," I just mean that's the portion of the time-loop he experiences. In fact the time loop lasts at least from the beginning of human history until the end of humanity, and it's likely that the time loop is literally the entire lifespan of the universe from big-bang to heat-death. But several people in the world (including Harry) remember their lives in all the previous time loops every time the universe resets. And they can use this information the same way Bill Murray did in Groundhog Day. They are also limited in the same way as Bill Murray, because in the end everything resets, everything is the same, and nothing they do matters(?).
