The Garden of Forking Paths

Book • 2018
The story revolves around Dr. Yu Tsun, a Chinese spy working for the Germans during World War I, who must transmit a crucial message by killing a man named Albert.

The narrative intertwines with the concept of Ts'ui Pen's unfinished novel and labyrinth, which are interpreted as a single project representing multiple possible futures.

The story explores themes of time, reality, and the infinite possibilities of choice, foreshadowing concepts from quantum mechanics and chaos theory.
