The fallout from the flashforward occupies much of the first part of the
book. The consequences include the death of Michiko's daughter as an
out-of-control vehicle plows into her school. Oddly, no recording
devices anywhere in the world functioned in the present during the
event. Security camera tapes show noise and even recording devices in
television studios show nothing until the event is over. One character
interprets this as evidence in support of the observer effect in quantum theory.
With the awareness of the entire human race absent, "reality" went into
a state of indeterminacy. When the awareness returned, reality
collapsed into its most likely configuration, which was one in which
moving objects had careened out of control in the direction they were
already headed.
