Publisher's Synopsis
Tom Deadlight, a founding Gen Xer, dedicated his life to teaching Millennials and Gen Z college students. He picked up hitchhikers and stray animals. He believed in ghosts and panpsychism. But now, in 2075, during the Tech Revolution, he's been chosen for biorejuvenation to teach at a new kind of university named SAJE that crosses the river between Mississippi and Louisiana. The campus is next level, has funding from the feds and multiple tech giants, and the students' minds and bodies are genetically and tech-enhanced. The college is an incubator in the race for Dominion. Tom teaches an unconventional course on what it means to be a self. Problem is, a pink party drug the students call "Pank" is being circulated at SAJE, and they say it makes them travel through time. But it's also affecting them in bizarre ways. When a young woman in Tom's class succumbs to it, he is drawn into discovering its origin and the conspiracy behind it. At the same time, readers are faced with reconstructing Tom's troubled past, while students are challenged to define their ultimate beliefs and explore the limits of human knowledge. So read on for Scifi, Southern Goth, and Strange Seminar Questions!
