Everything Matters

 Fiction by Ron Currie Jr

This book should actually have been called “Nothing Matters,” because that seemed to be the author’s point. 

It began with the birth of a child who —for reasons never explained— was born with the knowledge that the world would end in destruction by fiery comet before his 40th birthday, and nothing could change that. I don't want to put any spoilers here, but... what would you do if you knew this? Try to prevent the disaster? Give up in despondency? 

I did not like this book.
