I would note that stories with this premise *have* existed before. This isn\'t so much to take away from the greatness of Dinosaur Comics -- they are awesome -- but just to point out that the premise behind this book isn\'t *just* a crazy, wacky, random idea by a fictional character. I remember reading an old sci-fi story -- can\'t remember the name any longer, but this would have been published many decades ago -- that had a similar concept: Two scientists invent a machine that takes a tiny skin sample from any person, and then shows moments from that person\'s future on a screen, as they would be seen through their eyes. One character uses the machine to foresee their own death, but, as in this book, ends up being powerless to change it.
