(79,000 words, adult sci-fi) Members of any sufficiently advanced civilization would appear to
us as gods. Maligoth is just this species of god. He is one of the
Stik, a race who gained superhuman civilization in the early days of life's
evolution on Earth. The Stick are gardeners of infinite parallel Earths.
Maligoth's world was the world of the dinosaurs ended by an asteroid impact,
terminating a species with a glorious and magnificent future. Rather than
start from scratch, Maligoth cheats, genetically altering in the course of a
single night the human population of a small Midwestern town and luring them
into a primal world within which he will begin the experiment anew. But
gods who are not quite all-powerful make mistakes from time to time, and
Maligoth's greatest blunder is to abduct the lovely Shasha Abdul, girlfriend of
seventeen-year-old Wallace McFerguson.

Gods of Platonia

How does reality work? Cultural views of the nature of
reality have failed. Quantum theory implies that conscious
observers are space-time perspectives of an otherwise superpositioned
reality, alive in a reality that is acausal at its core. Not only does common
sense notions of who and what we are take a beating, they unravel
completely. All it takes is a little effort to learn elemental facts of the one
discipline of science responsible for seventy percent of modern
technology and one third of our economy and who and what we are and
what lies before us changes forever.
