About This Book

Two men ascend in a stratospheric scout and encounter strange living green clouds that envelop their plane, disable its systems, and transfer their minds into a collective, direct-sensory field. Stripped of ordinary senses, they perceive a vaporous city and encounter intelligences that appear to feed on words and thought. The narrative follows their bewilderment and tentative exploration of this alien mental environment, juxtaposing technological confidence with skeptical practicality while examining themes of communication, altered consciousness, and the hazards of human contact with nonhuman modes of awareness.
