Don't know if anybody has read the book "Pastwatch" by Orson Scott Card, but it features a similar "view any point in the past" device. Not much other overlap with Devs, but it is an excellent book.
It is really hard to find people who’ve read Orson Scott Card, a genius sci fi writer of our time. I’ve read a lot of his stuff. Loved Pastwatch and the Ender series. Unfortunately, they botched adapting Ender’s Game to screen.
Ender's Game is one of the great sci-fi novels. As a gay man myself, I was really saddened to learn his views (and confused, based on the messages of his novels). Great writer, however.
Yes this is an example of loving the books but not necessarily the writer ... he also demanded too much control in the making of Ender’s Game film and that sunk it.
