After Delphi

A well-respected thinker has created a new mind-altering technology that will forever change humanity. But before he can decide how to introduce it properly to the world, it is stolen from him and prematurely deployed to a society not psychologically prepared. When all hell breaks loose, he is blamed by the very people who stole his idea - a government that is trying to maintain power over a vulnerable society recovering from a devastating world war. Feeling morally obliged to help, he struggles to survive while simultaneously trying to expose the corrupt bureaucracy and repair the damage done by its deployment to society. In this Herman Hesse-meets-The Matrix techno-mystery, Pontius profetes struggles to define Truth within a backdrop of social destruction while sacrificing his own sanity answering paralyzing questions of metaphysics and existence. The final question is whether his daring solution is preferable to what the ravaged public has become uneasily accustomed.
