Описание книги

Desperately fleeing for his life, Brad Evans escapes Manhattan and hides in a trailer in the country. There he writes an expos of Phasmatia, the world’s first great Internet religion, and its megalomaniacal unholy messiah, Sky Fisher. As one of the trio of ad men who schemed to concoct Phasmatia, Evans certainly knows where all the skeletons are buried, and is ready to tellprovided he manages to live long enough. His close friend and co-conspirator, Stan Shiu, whose technical genius helped spark the religion’s rapid rise, is already dead. The whistle-blower recounts the religion’s genesis and its growth from a get-rich-quick Dot-Com scheme to the Next Big Thing, spreading like wildfire over the web and the planet. He also exposes the corruption and power lust that festers at the top, even while his hope for a potential new era of spirituality and faith burns brightly. The events in this gripping digital-age novel could easily happen tomorrow. Our wired age of social networks, virtual worlds, and media manipulation is examined in the context of humankind’s timeless need for spiritual sustenance and divine hope.

Отрывок из книги

A NOVEL

Dan Dowhal

.....

A piece of The Universal Spirit is within you. Like a fire that needs tending, your own spirit must be nurtured and fed. With cultivation (and the guidance of the Church, of course) your essence can achieve a divine state of spiritual energy that transcends space and time, and persists beyond the death of the body. But if you neglect your essence, or allow it to become besotted with negative energy, then it will shrivel to a state where, once your body can no longer sustain it, your spirit will be swallowed up and extinguished by the dark force.

That brings me to Part Deux, our moral code. In setting down these basic rules for a fit and healthy soul, I borrowed the best from Aquinas to Zoroaster, with choice bits of Aesop, Mark Twain, Nietzsche, Gandhi, and Tony Robbins thrown in for good measure. I’ll be honest, there’s absolutely nothing original there (other than the rewording, so I couldn’t be accused of outright plagiarism). After all, how do you improve on “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” or “Do the right thing”?
