Counter Clock World

What would happen if time ran backward?

Found at the airport, the plot looked interesting and the reviews were positive.

I did not particularly like the style and the plot does not make much sense, but the idea is brilliant considering it is more than 50 years old. Time starts running backward and people do strange things like rising from graves, and a debate begins about what is right and what is wrong, such as who has a claim to people who have just been reborn.

As for the plot, I did not connect with the protagonists, especially the one from the vivarium, whose reasoning often felt misguided, though it does prompt reflection on the future and on how society might evolve based on the concept of time. 3 stars, given that I struggle with the writing style of that era. The idea is still brilliant, the writer inspired many others, though I would not recommend it.
