The concept of the butterfly effect and human hubris; light but resonant
What this book is about
A time travel company offers hunts to the ancient past. Strict rules govern the expedition — but when one hunter panics and steps off the path, the butterfly effect sends the future spinning into something unrecognizable. Bradbury's 1952 short story is one of science fiction's most perfect — a five-minute read with ideas that last a lifetime.
