Fiction FREE THIS WEEKEND — The Universe Had Other Plans | He put free will to the test. Somehow, he ended up in Australia. (Humorous Literary Fiction)
What if every decision you've ever made was inevitable?
Simón has a problem with that idea. If he could go back to the exact moment he made a decision, with the same memories, desires and circumstances, could he really choose differently?
He decides to find out.
First, he takes roads he wouldn't normally take. Then he orders food he doesn't particularly like. Eventually, he lets a quantum random number generator make a decision for him.
It gives him a seven.
Not long afterwards, he's on a plane to Australia.
Things go downhill from there. Or sideways. It's difficult to tell.
There's a troublesome telescope, a tiny country lost somewhere in the Pacific, an Australian with a remarkably creative interpretation of official documents, and a pig named Mercedes.
And then there's Elena.
A woman with her own plans, her own decisions, and absolutely no intention of becoming supporting evidence in somebody else's philosophical experiment.
The more Simón tries to understand whether our choices are truly free, the more his life fills with coincidences that seem almost too ridiculous to be coincidences.
The Universe Had Other Plans is a humorous, slightly philosophical novel about the little decisions that change everything, the absurdity of trying to control our lives, and the uncomfortable possibility that destiny might have a better sense of humor than we do.
There's travel, absurd humor, a little science, an unexpected love story, and absolutely no requirement to understand quantum physics.
📚 FREE ON KINDLE THIS WEEKEND!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HMNZJZXC
No Kindle Unlimited subscription required.
I'm the author, Ishai Rodríguez. If you decide to give it a try, I'd genuinely love to hear your honest thoughts. But mostly, I hope it makes you laugh and leaves you wondering, just for a moment, whether you could really have chosen differently.
