In fictional form, it is the writer's own experience following a strange event in 1974 in which he opened the door to a young woman delivering something and a flash from jewellery she was wearing was perceived by him as a pink laser beam delivering an epiphany straight into his brain. Nicht in erster Linie für Star Trek Fans, auch wenn es immer wieder unter Science Fiction läuft, eher ein philosophisch-psychologischer-psychadelischer-poetischer Trip durch die unendlichen Weiten der menschlichen Existenz und der Suche nach deren sinnhafter Legitimierung.
