About This Book

A chemist develops a drug named Relin that, by rendering the body nearly inert, allows consciousness to travel freely through time and space. Using this release, the narrator experiences a sequence of vividly described future scenes: cities vaporized by comet-like missiles and massive craters, a depopulated surface, and small human communities surviving in deep underground caverns. The narrative alternates between laboratory reflection and episodic voyages that reveal technologies, ruins, and the social adaptations of post-catastrophe peoples, exploring themes of scientific hubris, psychic expansion, and the fragile persistence of human society.
