About the author
Yoav Blum
11 books230 followersYoav Blum writes speculative fiction that blends mystery, philosophy, and science fiction. His novels have been published in 15+ languages. He explores themes of fate vs. free will, identity, and the edges of reality—through page-turning stories.
Blum blends high-concept speculative and science fiction with gripping mystery, thriller, and philosophical depth. His novels delve into the extraordinary – from the overwhelming experience of hearing the thoughts of everyone around you, to the mind-bending possibilities of time travel, the intricate mechanics of body switching, and the hidden art of orchestrating coincidences.
But beneath the thrilling concepts lie profound questions about what it truly means to be human. Blum explores the complexities of identity, the struggle to define the self amidst external influences, the nature of consciousness and perception, and the delicate dance between fate and free will. His narratives often feature compelling mysteries, secret knowledge, and unique characters grappling with the extraordinary challenges their abilities or circumstances present.
With a tone that is at once introspective, suspenseful, and sometimes playfully self-aware, Blum invites readers to question everything they think they know about reality, human connection, and the stories we tell ourselves.

I only read most of it, so perhaps it's not fair for me to say this isn't up to snuff with Blum's regular, excellent level of writing. I might come back to finish the last few stories, but I think I'm just not really a short story person anymore. Really says more about me than about the book.
