About This Book

A narrator meets a solitary young man who shares a detailed diary of an extraordinary aerial mission. The diary traces a crewed flight that is mysteriously lifted beyond ordinary skies and delivered to a distant, otherworldly city, where the survivor recounts strange craft, profound encounters, and the emotional and social dislocation that follows. Interwoven with the adventure are extended critiques of prevailing economic arrangements and a proposal for a humane, gradual social reform. The book combines speculative narrative, diary reportage, and didactic passages advocating ethical and systemic change.
