In the year 2042, the first manned mission to Mars was nearing the Red Planet, and the world's energy and transport infrastructure had evolved; harnessing the power of lightning strikes and embracing new super-cell battery technology. The skies were no longer littered with aircraft; instead, hypersonic pods jettisoned passengers and cargo along pipelines on terra firma. The future was indeed rich with new solutions to global warming and unlocking renewable energy sources. Despite widespread development; there was, however, one invention that stood head and shoulders above the rest. Everybody dreamt; but not everyone could remember them after waking; and even for those who could; they would often forget. The Dream Watcher symbolised the greatest technological advance in the history of time and became the most sought after piece of equipment. This highly sophisticated system could not only interpret people's hallucinations during sleep, but could replicate them on screen, to be watched after they woke; a long-running futuristic TV boxset of their own unconscious creations. After losing his job at the bank, Jared Blake was having real difficulty finding work. One day; Troy Skeetman, eager to help his friend, notices an advert for a new tech company looking to recruit a number of participants to assist them with their research into dreams. However, after auditioning for Dreamex, Jared's life would never be the same again; transcending him into a world of unimaginable consequences, and catapulting him on a journey that would leave him questioning the very fabric of his and everyone else's existence.

In this sequel to The Scientist as Rebel (2006), Freeman Dyson—whom The Times of London calls “one of the world’s most original minds”—celebrates openness to unconventional ideas and “the spirit of joyful dreaming” in which he believes that science should be pursued. Throughout these essays, which range from the creation of the Royal Society in the seventeenth century to the scientific inquiries of the Romantic generation to recent books by Daniel Kahneman and Malcolm Gladwell, he seeks to “break down the barriers that separate science from other sources of human wisdom.” Dyson discusses twentieth-century giants of physics such as Richard Feynman, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Paul Dirac, and Steven Weinberg, many of whom he knew personally, as well as Winston Churchill’s pursuit of nuclear weapons for Britain and Wernher von Braun’s pursuit of rockets for space travel. And he takes a provocative, often politically incorrect approach to some of today’s most controversial scientific issues: global warming, the current calculations of which he thinks are probably wrong; the future of biotechnology, which he expects to dominate our lives in the next half-century as the tools to design new living creatures become available to everyone; and the flood of information in the digital age. Dyson offers fresh perspectives on the history, the philosophy, and the practice of scientific inquiry—and even on the blunders, the wild guesses and wrong theories that are also part of our struggle to understand the wonders of the natural world.

Accelerate your Awakening – with the movies! In a radical departure from traditional spiritual cinema David Hoffmeister embraces Hollywood movies as modern day parables for awakening, thus turning the universal pastime of movie watching into a portal for a whole new perspective on Life. Step back, relax and laugh as you learn to see the Big Picture. Allow David and this book to be your gentle guide to a present experience of Enlightenment. “The temptation of linear time is the belief that things would be better if they were different. The problem with attempting to redo the past is that such attempts obscure the realization that the past is over and gone. Healing is seeing that all the scripts of the world are the same and therefore cannot be changed; this awareness is the forgiven world.” Excerpt from The Butterfly Effect review, pg. 28 "Since the dawn of time, myths, stories and parables have been used by spiritual teachers to reveal spiritual truths. Many popular movies speak not only to our desire for entertainment, but are also great tools to flush up and look at human emotions for healing. In The Movie Watcher's Guide to Enlightenment, David Hoffmeister uses movies as contemporary parables, making modern spirituality personal and relevant." -Darren Main - Yoga and the Path of the Urban Mystic
