Redshirts book6/9/2023 The main character of the book, who was only an extra on the TV show, says "we're all supposed to think we're real people who found out we were extras on a TV show" but of course the reader knows all of them are actually characters in a book. As far as I'm concerned, quantum physics could have been written by a hack."īut the best part is the end, where it gets even more meta. For example, "Does quantum physics count? Because I don't understand that crap at all. The characters try to figure out when their lives branched off from actual reality by looking for crazy nonsense. This conceit lets the authors poke fun at crazy parts of the real world. And the TV show they're living isn't even well written. But the story is meta: the characters in the book eventually figure out that their lives are sometimes taken over by what they call "the Narrative" and the laws of physics stop working, they take actions that they would not normally take, and people die. It starts as a spin-off of Star Trek, and there are fun easter eggs that reference elements of that show.
