When Ben finds out the hard way that a stellar career, a gorgeous wife, and clever kids do not insure against making your life into a total mess, he chickens out, travelling space and time to escape from it all. Riding a roller coaster of a lost loser, hero, and castaway, he ends up discovering a new world, a new life, and its meaning.

His odyssey, the dynamics of family, work, and the different cultures sharpened his eye for the writing on the wall of the new millennium, facing a failing global society which dreamt up nothing but apocalypse. Fed up with the renunciation of utopia and nauseated by scenarios of multi-planetary salvation, he wrote his first novel in "science friction", a fast-paced reckoning with our times. Served with a helping of humor and hope, it provides a glimpse of whatever keeps us locked out from paradise.
