Trevor Hywood
Easy read, thought provoking, adventure cum philosophical fiction story in a futuristic setting not dissimilar to current times with media, government and corporates spreading misinformation and control of the population. Mentioning the use of special linguistic codes for healing and transform.
At around the same time I also watched the Netflix movie DON’T LOOK UP and could see similar themes such as the effect of mass psychosis and “dumbing down” of the population.
Without giving too much away the story largely parallels where we are currently heading as a human race. Parasitic mind control on a mass scale is real of which a majority I suspect are unaware.
Nevertheless, CALI gives us hope things can be reversed when some brave souls speak and act their truth and humanity is awakened. A good story which I thoroughly enjoyed.
ABOUT SOL LUCKMAN
Sol Luckman is a pioneering ink and acrylic painter whose work has been featured on mainstream book covers, the fast-paced trading game BAZAAR, and at least one tattoo on a female leg last sighted in Australia. Sol is also an acclaimed author of fiction, nonfiction, and humor.
His books include the international bestselling CONSCIOUS HEALING, which you can read free online, and its popular sequel, POTENTIATE YOUR DNA, available in English and Spanish.
Sol’s visionary novel SNOOZE: A STORY OF AWAKENING, the coming-of-age tale of one extraordinary boy’s awakening to the world-changing reality of his dreams, won the 2015 National Indie Excellence Award for New Age Fiction.
Written with young adult and young-at-heart readers in mind, SNOOZE further proved its literary merit by being selected as a 2016 Readers’ Favorite International Book Award Finalist in the Young Adult-Coming of Age category and receiving an Honorable Mention in the 2014 Beach Book Festival Prize competition in the General Fiction category.
Building on this deep dive into lucid dreaming, parallel universes and Hindu mysticism, Sol’s new novel, CALI THE DESTROYER, Finalist in both the New Age and Visionary Fiction categories of the 2021 International Book Awards, is a page-turner of a sci-fi tale set in an Orwellian future seeded in the dystopian present that radically rewrites Gnosticism as well as the origins of the earth and humanity.
Sol’s popular book of humor and satire, THE ANGEL’S DICTIONARY: A SPIRITED GLOSSARY FOR THE LITTLE DEVIL IN YOU, received the 2017 National Indie Excellence Award for Humor and was selected as a Finalist in the Humor category of both the 2018 International Book Awards and the 2018 Best Book Awards.
