Crumey, Andrew. Mobius Dick
Summary: Literary novel involving theoretical physicists, psychiatrists, mental patients, and
others from different time periods in an exploration of quantum mechanics, wave states,
false memory and more.
Series note: Although not a sequel to but apparently related to Music, In a Foreign Language.
Comments: Explicit alternate history content is minimal, with the most extensive bits revealed in
the "afterword" and suggesting a recursive allohistorical novel.
