Read "How To Survive In A Science Fiction Universe" by Charles Yu, a novel about a time-machine repair-man getting stuck in a loop during his search for his father.
First person narrated, in a fictional universe in which you can travel in time but you can't change anything about the past.
It was fun and an easy read, lots of interludes about the physics of fictional universes and explanations of acausal items causing their own existence, including the book itself that you read in your hands.
Its nice if you'd like something with experimental narrative form twisting the usual story format.

There is currently a bundle of books from one of my favorite author of fantasy novels, Mercedes Lackey on Humble Bundle. For my queer folks out there, she is one of the few authors that cast an openly gay man as a main character in her books, in the early 90s. The novels are great and her universe is amazing. If you read on your phone or e-reader and are in search of great fantasy novels, you can pick that all up here:

The question arrives early and stays late: what does it mean to live a finite, fragile life inside an infinite, eternal universe?

It has come to my attention that some people here still believe/fall for the idea that something like "a family" is somehow fundamental to this universe.
The whole concept of "a family" is a rather recent fad: it's only about 4000-5000y old and is a pretty weird idea that is exclusive to the human species.
It was devised to establish/enforce the patriarchy and to so suppress and control you.
Some 2000y later, it was adopted by the church, and cast i…

It's like using a streaming service from a parallel universe

A tl;dr version might be, that no physical system can exist outside the universe, which for the purpose of measuring it is not finite; therefore no physical system can be simulated with arbitrary accuracy.

TV - whether broadcast or streaming is so filled with murder mystery shows, particularly ones from the UK, that I wonder why those places have not become depopulated.
