This substantial literary project, dating from 1982, is comprised of some sixteen short-prose pieces with subjects ranging from musical evolution to Christmas trees, Black Holes to Esperanto, and space travel to modern art. Of this number, the author's most outstanding work is undoubtedly the title piece, a fantasy projection into a millennial future in which we enter the mind of a 'superman' who is preparing to undergo an 'acid trip', view life in what is called the 'post-human millennium' from a spiritual leader's standpoint as he grapples with his counselling responsibilities vis-a-vis the superhuman flock, and sample a controller's perspective on post-human life from the administrative sidelines. One could argue that this is John O'Loughlin's equivalent to 'Brave New World', but it was with a view to rejecting Huxleyite cynicism that he set out to fashion so positive a futuristic projection."
