Review of 'The dechronization of Sam Magruder' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This one is a treat. A time-travel novella written by the George Gaylord Simpson, found by his family after his death. Which then managed to win Stephen Jay Gould and Arthur C. Clarke for an afterword and the introduction!
The novella itself is solid, maybe a bit slow at length, given how short the overall text is. But the slow parts are there for some interesting reasons, as SJ Gould points out nicely in his afterword.
Definitely worth a read if you are a) interested in time travel stories b) like dinosaurs c) have a keen interest in paleontology/evolutionary biology d) all of the above.
