Discussion Questions
1. In Timebound, Kate must wrestle with the fact that changing the past could result in some innocent individuals never existing. When faced with the possibility of creating an alternate future, who has the right to choose?
2. We don't currently have the ability to choose "genetic gifts" for our offspring, but it's something that could, arguably, exist within a matter of decades. Could a reasonable line be drawn or is this a Pandora's Box that should never be opened?
3. Saul demonstrates how easy it would be to manipulate religious faith with some advanced technology and knowledge of the future. Do you think the author's depiction of the Cyrists is believable? Does this aspect of the story enhance or detract from your enjoyment of the overall story?
