Timescape

Timescape by Gregory Benford wasn't my favorite read of all time. I enjoyed the main parts about the ecological problems, the attempt to send communication to the past and how that was accomplished. The book was filled with the minutiae of the scientist's life–frankly, I didn't care enough about the characters to want to know about their lives.
I can see why this book is foundational and important in the time travel and sci-fi genres, however, I found myself skimming the book, especially near the middle of the book, as it was just filled with social scenes and boring details that really didn't amount to anything.

Interesting concepts, just wish it wasn't as bloated or long.
