 This is Jonathan Lyons' second novel and is titled Machina. It is a speculative, metaphysical, philosophical, and very unusual novel that pulls in notions about reality from quantum mechanics, string theory, various religious tomes, Descartes, Eastern notions of reality and the universe, the Schroedinger probability wave, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, and more, to deal with the question of what happens when "God," whatever that is, dies. Who finds out, and how? And what would they do to set things right? Grand conspiracy and the old Remote Viewing psychic spy programs come into play.
Machina: A philosophical, metaphysical work of speculative fiction by Jonathan Lyons "Compelling, challenging, and satisfying ... I couldn't put it down. Possibly the best book that I've read all year. Jonathan Lyons has written a truly excellent novel. Machina is even better than Burn, and Burn was great." - Dan L. Hollifield, Aphelion Magazine. "Nominated for the P.K. Dick Award 2004"
