I would absolutely read the grand prize winner. "he’d accidentally destroyed the phenomenon known as time, thirteen inches ago."

It would be a very, very hard book to write, and most likely pretty brain-frying to read, but I'd read the crap out of that book. One of the most experimental notions I've ever heard.

It could end with 'frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn' and 'tomorrow is another day'!



Has a Douglas Adams quality about it; if it's possible to write a book containing an infinite improbability drive, a restaurant at the end of the universe, and a super-intelligent shade of the colour blue, it's probably possible to write this.

To me, it has more of a Nicholson Baker's "The Mezzanine" feel to it.
