Island : A Novel

"It was a paradise beyond the wildest dreams of man - no poverty, neurosis, injustice or war. Instead of making money, they learned new ways to make love. Instead of fighting, they chewed Moksha, a fabulous drug which triggered visions of excruciating beauty. It was the best of all possible worlds until a guilt-ridden, spiritually crippled journalist with a shady past and a flair for the sensational deliberately shipwrecked himself on its shores and planted a fatal virus of corruption." - from the back cover.
