O knihe

Realities: the fictional biography of Sam Turner, Ph. D. in Theoretical Physics, Nobel Prize winner, Senior Faculty Member at the Institute for Advanced Studies, Princeton, NJ, Time Magazines Man of the Year 2018, co-developer of the Turner-Simcock Propulsion System (TSPS), which will enable mankind to travel to the stars, and lover of beauty, especially, but not limited to, the feminine kind.

Dr. Turner lives in five realities, one real and four virtual, or so he thinks at first. But are the virtual realities virtual realities or alternate realities? Is his real reality just one of many alternate realities, all equally real? Not even Dr. Vihaan Patel, inventor of the Patel VR Theatre, can answer these questions. As Dr. Turner says, The beauty is we will never know.

The realities Dr. Turner lives in are inhabited by a group of women whose various histories are interwoven: Nancy Swann, the most beautiful woman Sam has ever seen, Becky Alsace and Sarah Burke, fellow students with Sam at Columbia University, linked with him for life, Caroline Williams, Director at the New York Museum of Modern Art, and Catholic nun in Tanzania, the Vietnamese trio, Pham Thi Hua, Mai Thi Lan, and Nguyen Thi Tran all of whom are involved with Sam in the final days of the Vietnam War and alternately in Manhattan, and Pam Windham, botanist and widow of a panda expert.

You will wonder, along with Sam, what is and what isnt real. You, along with Sam, will have to come to your own conclusions. And you will enjoy, along with Sam, the entire adventure. Start reading and meet Nancy Swann.
