Journey of Coincidence

by Thomas Reissmann

Overview

This true tale of adventure and self-discovery begins behind the walls of a seemingly large prison, once known as East Germany, which finally collapses in 1989. Inspired by a peaceful revolution, he embarks upon a quest for spiritual freedom and adventure, which eventually takes him to South America. Searching for a mystic experience he stumbles upon a group of eclectic Christians, ingesting copious amounts of “liquid” Jesus, locally known as Daime or Ayahuasca.

Mystified but also slightly confused he ends up lost in the Amazon, while crossing the Brazilian border into Northern Peru, where he ends up inside a prison once again. He soon realizes that his circumstances are part of a self-created reality that is meant to test his character and strength, much like a rite of initiation. He will have to find a way out soon in order to survive, but before he can escape he will have to understand the reason for his adventure and find the answer he had been looking for behind those prison walls.

About the Author

Tom Reissmann went to University in Great Britain and Australia. He lived in seven different countries on three different continents, working as a travel videographer and documentary filmmaker.

Often dismayed by dystopian visions of the future depicted in many books and movies, he felt compelled to write a more optimistic science fiction novel offering a brighter outlook, while also discussing the obvious dangers of artificial intelligence and the current drift into authoritarianism, alternate realities, and surveillance capitalism.

Tom is a writer for International Living and the creator of an award-winning documentary (The Grizzly Truth) that helped to end the grizzly-bear-hunt in British Columbia, Canada. He also wrote about his travel adventures and getting lost in the Amazon (Journey of Coincidence)

His fiction is informed by science, history, and philosophy. Tom has worked with several science advisors and editors to produce The Reality Games.
