Synopsis

Parody, intellectual slapstick, and a mind-twisting surprise ending unite in this novel to produce a highly entertaining summary of the work of cutting-edge theorists in human development from around the world. A naïve young computer science graduate student's quest for meaning provides the setting to contrast scientific materialism with an integral vision that embraces body, mind, soul, and spirit. Embedded within the novel's teachings is a cogent critique of how boomer beliefs in personal freedom, pluralism, and diversity mutated into rampant self-regard, the victim syndrome, and self-serving notions about nature and the inner child. La parodia, las bufonada intelectuales, y un final sorpresa provocador unen para producir un resumen amenísimo de la obra de los teóricos vanguardistas del desarrollo humano. La búsqueda para sentido de un joven e inocente estudiante de informática es el contexto de un discurso más largo que contrapone el materialismo científico con una mayor visión íntegro, que abarca el cuerpo, la mente, el alma, y el espíritu. Por todos las enseñas de este libro es una crítica del egocentrismo y el narcicismo que han infiltrados los crecimientos de la generación de baby-boom.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

8217;s latest book is a daring departure form his previous writings–a highly original work of fiction that combines brilliant scholarship with tongue-in-cheek storytelling to present the integral approach to human development that he expounded in more conventional terms in his recent A Theory of Everything.
The story of a naïve young grad student in computer science and his quest for meaning in a fragmented world provides the setting in which Wilber contrasts the alienated “flatland” of scientific materialism with the integral vision, which embraces body, mind, soul, and spirit in self, culture, and nature. The book especially targets one of the most stubborn obstacles to realizing the integral vision: a disease of egocentrism and narcissism that Wilber calls “boomeritis” because it seems to plague the baby-boomer generation most of all.
Through a series of sparkling seminar-lectures skillfully interwoven with the hero’s misadventures
