Holographic Memoirs of a Dream: the Invention of Tram Hopping

In Holographic Memoirs of a Dream: the Invention of Tram Hopping fiction and non-fiction consolidate in the author's aimed and obtained doctor's dissertation in theology: the author's contribution to the academic world is an autobiography cast in and through a hologram. The story is a Tram hopping (like island hopping on the Greek Islands), and for the reader a virtual Tram hopping with the author. It's something like playing a computer game, or watching a blockbuster film, revelling in the emotions and hormonal ride of the (Hyper)Real. Differently put, Holographic Memoirs of a Dream: the Invention of Tram Hopping is also an academic novel, since in postmodernism fiction is also non-fiction, and vice versa. It's a multidimensional hologram, eliciting a time-space quantum physical warping between dimensions where academic jargon can be curbed if needed, and thus puts forward a sphere of leisure for everyone, like any good museum or exhibition targets both laity and specialists. The hologram evokes a touristic exhibition where the one, like the serious academic endeavourer, can either read everything on each label, like in a museum and in this case all endnotes and biographical instances, or the laity that just wants to look at the thematic arrangement of objects on display, like in a museum, and just gather general impressions and in this case just enjoy the Tram hopping. The hologram is like an hourglass: while the top chamber runs empty the bottom chamber fills up. Chapters 7-8 are the climax and the neck between the chambers. Chapter 8 is the author's testimony of how he got pulled into the presence of God's Shekinah glory. His testimony shares how he first got completely off the track and even into dugs, before he had a serious motorbike accident that left him two weeks in a coma. He was actually declared brain dead after a week. His encounter with God was alone one evening in his room and actually makes him a first generation Christian, since the theology that he brought to this experience was so little that he couldn't even recite one verse out of the Bible at gun point. This is why the author's postmodernism is actually a premodernism. Chapters 1-6 are the ripping apart of modernism, or differently stated, the idolatry of modernism's certainty, and through that the idolatry of denominationalism, doctrinalism, and theology, etc. Chapters 9-10 are the theological thrust, educing revival, constructed out of the rubble of modernist's demolition. Holographic Memoirs of a Dream: the Invention of Tram Hopping is a post-critical work that frees the Scriptures from the historical-critical entrenchment of modernism to enjoy the Lord our God-s (the Trinity). Holographic Memoirs of a Dream: the Invention of Tram Hopping is academic entertainment for everyone, spiritual entertainment.
