En algún lugar más allá del borde del universo hay una biblioteca que contiene un número infinito de libros, cada uno narrando la historia de otra realidad. Uno cuenta la historia de tu vida tal como es, junto con otro libro que narra la vida que podrías haber vivido si hubieras tomado una decisión diferente en algún momento.
