2026: Synthetic man, humanized machine, dictatorship of the mind—Earth is nearing its end. Without the proper equipment, people see only shades of gray. Color has become a glitch in the Machines' system, which is rushing to cleanse the city of all unknown activity. In Black Rock, Arkansas, Sean, a young student hacker, will discover against his will that he possesses extraordinary abilities. The government forbids the population from dreaming, from thinking; yet it is through dreams, each more outlandish than the last, that Sean must save humanity from extinction. Through dreams, each more outlandish than the last, he will confront the deities who seek to destroy planet Earth. Across the cosmos, he will even visit the source of this chaos, aided by allies with extraordinary powers. His greatest encounter will be with the woman of his dreams. Often clumsy, with whimsical thoughts, he will have to learn to outwit fate's traps and master his newfound powers. Liberating Man through the spirit: before she bites the ball.
