A Journey Into The Future
Mind Flight weaves together personal narrative and intellectual odyssey, taking readers along on the author’s pursuit of wisdom and enlightenment, his search for love, and his quest for an inspiring vision of the future. Encyclopedic in scope... Mind Flight draws the reader into the vast wonders and possibilities of the future, and is a stunning example of “living the examined life.”
"Mind Flight is a truly remarkable book.”
