Flux, the debut novel from Jinwoo Chong, features three main characters: Bo, a young boy who has just lost his mother in a tragic accident, Brandon, pushing thirty and just laid off from his publishing job, and Blue, survivor of a criminal tech startup that has stolen his voice.  Eventually, we learn all three are the same person, and he has gained the ability to travel through time.

I don’t really remember how this book landed on my radar.  It took me a while to get into it, as the beginning chapters, jumping between the three “characters”, were kind of hard to follow.  The story eventually picks up, even if it never makes a whole lot of sense.  There were some interesting ideas here, but, at the end of the day, I found the execution to be a little lacking.
