Description

"Akayama DanJay" is political satire and a psychedelic sci-fi remix of Epic Christian Poetry.

The book focuses on three main characters. Professor Akayama pilots her giant space-robot which wields Heaven and Earth like a buzzsaw. Dan studies manga and religion on the Islands of Sheridan, where monks worship birds and eat centipedes to visit the afterlife. Jay travelogues the relationship between the two like Carlos Castaneda visiting The Naked Lunch.

This book is filled with fascinating concepts and ideas that reflect on religion, dystopian futures, philosophy, and science fiction. When reading this book, you will be challenged by complexities that evoke existential thought and deep moral questions. Key topics include death and life, destruction and recreation, and crises of identity and sexuality. This is a must read for anyone looking for a metaphysical novel filled with satire that commentates on life's profound concepts and abstractions.

Author Bio

Ted Tinker is a squid. On his YouTube channel Thinkstr, he describes the relationship between fiction, religion, formal logic, machine learning, and philosophy.

He's the only mathematician at UC Santa Barbara to win the literature-department's Most Excellent Prose award, and he's won it twice. He doesn't see a difference between words and numbers; to a squid, it's all just ash.
