Mike's Trip to Utopia is a comic novel set in a satirical world without suffering, where physical pursuits dominate and pain has been engineered away. 
When Mike enters this strange paradise, he flourishes, until unexpected romantic feelings throw him into confusion. To make sense of his emotions, and perhaps to find his way back to reality before he loses himself entirely in this crazy Eden, he must seek out a guru named Mume Bibstripe. Funny and inventive, the book uses its offbeat utopia to explore how love and human connection unsettle our ideas of paradise.
