A philosophical novel about a young man named Bodhi who undertakes a journey of self-discovery and explores a world of Being and Becoming. While meditating under an ancient Baobab tree, he suffers an existential crisis and steps into the void. Opening his eyes, he finds himself in Dante's world, only turned upside down. With the River of Reason as his guide, he learns about the nature of reality from over 100 philosophers, theologians, and scientists. Starting along the Ridge of Revelation, he witnesses Christianity's compassion as well as intolerance. Next, he listens to ancient thinkers in the Grove of the Greeks, stops in the Woods of Wisdom, and studies the Scriptures of Science. Atheists then pay him a visit in the Field of Freethinkers, followed by progressive preachers in the Hills of Hope. Finally, he realizes emptiness at the Sea of Sunyata. Before Bodhi can awaken and discover God, however, he must confront Nietzsche's Madman who has haunted him throughout his journey.
