"Elementary, my dear Rand. It works because it's impossible!" - Quinn Schmul, eccentric inventor.
A whirlwind tale of time travel, magic, science, coffee, geeks, logic, fallacy, and spaghetti.
Rand likes his coffee, his sleep, and the study of philosophy. Especially philosophy. He craves the beauty and rigor of it. That's why he's studying formal logic at an age when he should be doing something far more sensible with his life.
It's a mystery how he ended up getting roped into his girlfriend-inventor's latest experiment. Sure, yeah, Quinn has terrific hair, and as a barista in her day job, she serves a mean espresso. But this time looping scheme she's so obsessed with is illogical. He has his doubts about this brainwave of hers concerning the role of paradox in time travel, too.
Worse, while Quinn is occupied trying to twist time, not to mention the laws of thermodynamics, into shape using a little cooking sorcery and a chopstick, she's left him holding the baby...literally.
A swift, dizzying, laugh-out-loud time-looping romp.
