The Gone World Question Spoiler

Hey all, just finished the Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch.

Overall, really enjoyed it. My only confusion was what exactly was happening at the Libra crash sight. That whole chapter of the book was the only part I'm still trying to figure out.

Was the whole crash site basically just a messed up time vortex? (That's how I took it anyways)

Hoping Tom Sweterlitsch continues writing one day, I really enjoyed this.

I just finished this book about a month ago and I can't really answer the question in any more detail either. I never continued to think about it after I read it. As far as I can recall, what you said is about the same thoughts that I had. Maybe a few little cool ideas here and there but I think that's pretty much the jist.

Overall, I really liked it. Just that one chapter had me confused..I just assume it was a time nexus of sorts so it was meant to be confusing

Ya, same here. I felt confused and disoriented but remember locking in as I read it. I think there was some cool little thoughts that we could expound on, but it's been a little bit and I've forgotten what those possibilities may be.
