I think that'll be my vote. Gotta peel things off the to-read list whenever I can :)
Although I'm more interested in reading Grass, I voted for the other one from my TBR, which is Company Town, because it's a standalone. I'll have to keep my eye on how the voting goes, I might change to Grass if it looks like it's doing better and has a chance to win.

I totally agree. I loved that book.

Me too. I loved it so much I listened to it twice in one week.

Since it is about time travel, I thought it might be a play on words about versions of reality/possible paths, but I haven't actually read it yet. Will do soon though!

That's sort of what it refers to in a software development context. Version Control is the software that represents the tree of all the versions and branches of history of a software project's source code. It could be a very clever analogy if the book presents a tree of multiple timelines.
On the other hand, I'm very nervous about any book by a non-programmer that even tries to talk about programming, because they always get it horribly wrong. So without knowing much about the book, I could love it or hate it.
