## Review Date #note/sourcereview/book | #source/book📚/fiction ## What is the story Nora despondently overdoses on pills; she finds that her life hasn't fully ended. She continuous to have choices of the life she wants to live. Each choice, each decision, creates a new book in an infinite library. She gets to try new books until finding the right one, or not. She finds that the life she is most connected to is the root life, the life she was living. She makes the discovery, that it is her perspective on her future that is most important, at the latest moment. ## What else do I wonder about? This book echoes the philosophy of free will and [[soft determinism]], it represents through the metaphor of Nora's life the idea of a multiverse, and all existences coexisting simultaneously. ## Action The book resonated with me right now, as I am at a time when choices seem more important. In reality, there is so much unknowing about the future, that I should ensure I balance choice with appreciation for what is. ## Source: Haig, M. (2020). _The midnight library_.
