by Jonathan Lyons ~
This is Jonathan Lyons' second novel and is entitled Machina. It is a speculative, metaphysical, philosophical, weirdo novel that pulls in notions about reality from quantum mechanics, string theory, the various bibles of the people of the book (Christians, Jews, Muslims, though it is definitely NOT a religious piece; I'm not -- JL), Descartes, Eastern notions of reality and the universe, the Schroedinger probability wave, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, Etc. ... to deal with the question of what happens when "God," whatever that is, dies. Who finds out, and how? And what would they do to set things right? Grand conspiracy and the old Remote Viewing psychic spy programs come into play.
