Stoner Psychonaut: psychedelic science fiction

Stoner Psychonaut spans four interconnected lifetimes-each bound by death, rebirth, - the mystery of life itself, that transcends time.In 1943, an enigmatic healer dies in war-torn Smolensk, only to be reborn in 1945 as a troubled assassin with subtle, otherworldly abilities. But every choice and action has consequences.By 2084, that same soul returns to a collapsing Earth-where climate catastrophe, war, and disease have pushed humanity to the brink of extinction. Survival will require more than human ingenuity. It will demand an impossible technological breakthrough-and the intervention of multi-dimensional alien beings.In 2236, humanity has transformed itself into "ghumans," genetically engineered for survival on Kepler-442b, a distant super-Earth. But this new world holds its own mysteries, including telepathic indigenous life and lethal forces that challenge everything humanity has become.Threaded throughout is a visionary Western reimagining of the after-death Bardos from the Tibetan Book of the Dead-a journey through luminous realms of consciousness that connects each life, each death, and each rebirth into an unfolding cosmic chain.Stoner Psychonaut is a sweeping work of psychedelic science fiction-exploring consciousness, karma, and the fate of humanity across time and space.
