It was supposed to be a simple proof of concept. The physics were sound. Over one hundred teleportation experiments had already been successfully performed...
Debate rages over whether the Reidier Test’s disastrous outcome resulted from human error, government conspiracy, or sabotage. No one has actual knowledge of the truth. But hidden from the public eye, there exists a government report commissioned from criminal psychologist Dr. Hilary Kahn, chronicling the events that took place.
Dr. Kahn disappeared without a trace.
Now her son Danny has unearthed and revealed the report, fueling controversy over the details of Reidier’s quest to reforge the fabric of reality and hold his family together. Exposed with little chance of finding his mother, Danny goes underground to investigate. But nothing can prepare him for what he discovers.
In this thrilling saga, a paradigm-shattering feat may alter humanity’s future as quantum entanglement and teleportation collide.

Admirable but Read Reviews First By JZS I always research upcoming new releases from Amazon imprints so I had already decided that “Here and There” was the only Kindle First I would be interested in for October. The description was interesting and I expected a sci fi/techno thriller. So I was concerned when I saw this listed as “Experimental” fiction. What the heck was that supposed to mean? I leave the literary reviews to those more qualified, this is just about deciding if it is something you want to try.So… what is experimental about this? Well, first the structure. Many recent books from Andy Weir’s “The Martian” to Jami Attenberg’s “Saint Maizie” tell their story with a combination of everything from journals to interviews, traditional third party/ past tense chapters to omniscient present tense. This is that structure on steroids.The premise is that the novel is really a large briefcase stuffed with materials accompanied by a very long cover letter. The case includes drafts of a psychological study by the mother, Hilary (think profiler, again on steroids), inserted notes and stories by the letter writer (her son Danny, a fine story teller), physics lectures, physics lectures disguised as short stories written by one of the characters, official transcripts of videos, the psychologist’s description of videos, official (redacted) documents and more. And many of these are inserted into others, which meant I was constantly having to go back to remind myself where I was before the interruption In addition, there are interactive footnotes and links. (Frankly, I recommend skipping those until the end or have the footnotes open on a second device. I had a terrible time getting back to the page from the footnotes) **This is a very dense, challenging read. The psychologist’s draft report, which is supposedly designed to be clear for laymen officials, reads more like a dissertation than a report for officials. It includes long, detailed descriptions and quotes of psychological theories (with extensive footnotes and links) backing up her analysis of characters and their actions- in every …single…. situation. There are also long detailed discussions, stories, explanations of and lectures on quantum theory and mechanics. Other topics include semiotics and cryptography. Many parts of the book read like a text book. So..like I said, challenging read.The story itself is near future sci fi/ techno thriller primarily revolving around a scientist's work in “teleportation”. It also develops into the story of the scientist Reider and his wife Eve and of Danny himself. You are able to detect a whiff of what is really going on fairly early. But really the background story is just that- a framework. It’s as though the author had hundreds of ideas, theories, anecdotes, stories (including a longish sci fi story at the end) and created the basic story around them.So what to say. Hmmm. Parts of this I liked a lot. (Everything above is a positive for me except the excessive academic citations and footnotes issue.) And I’m extremely impressed by the complex work the author created. But on the other hand I don’t really want the author’s effort to be the first thing I think of in a book. And all of that detail and constant side stories became excessive, undermining one thing I want in a book- a connection to the characters.So, I’m going with four stars but with a warning. If you are looking for a kick back, put up your feet afternoon read or thought the science in “The Martian” was too much, this probably isn’t for you. But if you want to commit to a spending a lot of time on complex read, enjoy a broad range of subjects with a lot of detail this can be an enjoyable project.ETA See comments. Amazon Customer advises that she didn't have any problem with the foot notes working. I read most of this on my kindle keyboard which is old. So the issue is probably my device and you may not have the problem.Second edit for clarity
87 of 93 people found the following review helpful. Future cult classic? By Fificat This is the sort of novel I suspect that people will either love or hate. It's hard to be neutral on this one. For me, I loved it -- it's complicated but pretty brilliant. Basically the book reminds me a lot of "House of Leaves" as it presents two competing narratives: that of a brilliant physicist, Reidier, and his wife Eve in the main body of the story, and the travails of Danny, an anxiety-ridden son, and Hilary, Danny's psychologist mother, in the footnotes to the main text. The work is "compiled" by the actual author, Joshua Scher, who has received the mysterious package from his friend Danny.The story opens with the discovery by Danny of a top-secret US Government report prepared by Hilary concerning a disastrous event known as The Reidier Test. The test, performed by a Brown University quantum physicist named Kerek Reidier, resulted in the attempted teleportation and presumed death of Reidier's family and top government officials. Although paced and presented as a sci-fi thriller, the narrative in large part explores in romantic detail the love between Reidier and Eve, and their two unusual children, in the context of his devotion to a project that would permanently transform humankind.So basically I'd say HERE & THERE imagines the next advancements in teleportation in the frame of a love story -- can the atoms and energies that comprise people's bodies and "minds" be teleported and transferred successfully?In any event - read it to the very end, such as it is - there's a lot of provocative and nuanced detail in these last pages. I'm interested to see what others think and wonder if we've got a future sort of cult classic here.

Spine-tingling fun By KateE I found this to be a really unique and enjoyable read - the author has woven numerous voices into the narrative so the story unfolds from multiple perspectives, giving it a tense sense of realness. I was really drawn to the physicist and his family because it's a sweet love story, but don't get me wrong, it's not nearly that simple! This book also made my spine tingle with the unexpected occurrences and kept me reading late into the night to see what would happen next. The science seems very real (I have no idea!) which makes it all the more intriguing. Add this to your library you won't regret it!
