How about meta-science-fiction? HA! Science fiction, yes. Post-modern, yes. I think it's brilliant, this story of a time-machine repairman. In Yu's universe, time travel requires setting a "Tense Operator".... "I broke the Tense Operator by living in between tenses"..."I learned about the future tense, how anxiety is encoded into our sentences, our conditionals, our thoughts, how worry is encoded into language itself, into grammar."
This book is all about time and how we talk about it.
His "Tense Operator has been set to Present-Indefinite."
