Story
Caitlin Decter is young, pretty, feisty, a genius at math - and blind. Still, she can surf the net with the best of them, following its complex paths clearly in her mind. But Caitlin's brain long ago co-opted her primary visual cortex to help her navigate online. So when she receives an implant to restore her sight, instead of seeing reality, the landscape of the World Wide Web explodes into her consciousness, spreading out all around her in a riot of colors and shapes.

When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food-delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

Fascinating "Experiment Goes Awry" Conjecture..
.."Adequate" Execution.
Robert J. Sawyer starts by introducing a disastrous global event where everyone on the planet is transported 21 years into their own futures for two minutes. In the Present, people drown/crash vehicles/fall to their deaths, planes fall out of the sky, and the future "glimpses" are lifechanging (even occasionally horrifying). The implications and potential scenarios are tantalizing (asking readers: What would YOU do if you knew what would happen to you in the future?). Sawyer explores those questions thoughtfully.
Unfortunately, the exemplars that the author chooses just aren't that captivating (I didn't find myself caring about these people at all), he gets invested in a murder mystery for some reason, and he turns the conversations among characters into philosophical discussions of the nature of time (fixed vs. susceptible to free will). While an interesting debate, the book lost my attention.
"Passable" narration from Mark Deakins contributed to my impression of the book, too. To be certain, Deakins's diction, timbre, cadence, and voice-acting are creditable - but his tone is somewhat disinterested (he sounds like he's collecting a paycheck at times). Blackstone Audio Inc. could have found another professional reader with similar or better effectiveness.
Altogether, the book is an underwhelming example of thought-provoking cerebral speculative Hard SciFi.. and was a fine way to spend a couple of quiet afternoons.
'Flashforward' rates 6.5 stars out of 10.
If you can get it as a 'Plus' option, you should absolutely do so - but keep browsing if they ask for a Credit.

another great sci-fi by Robert Sawyer
This was a wonderful piece of science fiction. I couldn't predict where the story was going and really enjoyed listening to it. The narration was also very good.

worth the read
I enjoyed the book. Good narration and decent storyline. The plot seemed a but disjointed by the end, and at times I felt that it went on longer than needed.
The story had a large cast of male scientists. I found that the woman in the book were either sexualized or objects that propelled the men's storyline further. Not one woman was fleshed out further than those two roles. I wasn't a fan of that.
Overall worth the read, but it is not without its shortcomings.

Crazy science
The story was interesting even if most of the theories were over my head. The fact that I wanted to know the ending bodes well.
