The Great Chaining of Being

By Dylan Forsyth

Three bohemians from the past-a Machiavellian philosophe, a debaucherous malcontent, and a tortured poet on the edge of oblivion-struggle to assert their vision of utopia against an ever-expanding transhumanist future. Through many lives, they will offer an alternative to a digitally immortal, eternally young, and infinitely free society-a society that happens to be consuming the past in order to survive.

As ambitious in style and voice as David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas with an iconoclastic core comparable only to William S. Burroughs' Cities of the Red Night, The Great Chaining of Being is filled to the brim with philosophical banter and the warfare of ideas, mirroring and reimagining the very artists, writers, and revolutionaries of the many epochs it represents.
