A decade ago, I started writing a story about a Biohacking cybercriminal named "Nero" who meets a beautiful Colombian woman, Astrid, and - against all odds - makes her his to lose because he is on the right Smart Drugs. But she has a devious twin sister who draws him into a web of intrigue with a sinister tech company mining human "pre-cognitive capital" to predict the future.
Since I started writing it, I've personally trailed over 200 different Smart Drugs and Nootropics, along with self-experimenting with a bunch of weird and wacky personal growth things. There are a million health/biohacking/self-help books - so I decided to write a novel instead (an edgy one).
Limitless meets Black Mirror meets American Psycho in "Hourglass" - my debut science fiction novel available now for your reading and listening pleasure as a digital book "Odyssey of the Mind" style audiobook.
- It's kind of a personal transformation guide masquerading as a novel - illustrating the application of some of the edgier Biohacks, lifehacks, and social dynamics hacks - but more sci-fi thriller novel than a self-help book!
- In the story, our protagonist must solve the greatest unsolved mystery in mathematics - the Goldbach Conjecture. To do so, I describe the ultimate Biohacking stack of Smart Drugs, Nootropics, peptides, brainpower-boosting tech, and flowstate induction tools that he uses to make a momentous historical breakthrough. If you faced a monumental brainpower challenge - that would define your life trajectory and change the world - and had a small fortune to invest in your Biohacking, THIS would be the stack to unleash unequaled brilliance.
- There's a drug, dubiously a Nootropic - something not well-known (even in these corners) that may make you rich. But it may turn you into a rapacious and voracious psychopathic capitalist. A couple of high-profile white-collar criminals have used it. I reveal it in this novel.
- Bodybuilding/Beauty biohacks - The protagonist, a computer geek, uses various hacks to transform himself into a dude studly enough to get an exquisite woman.
- Psychedelics - These have 'light' and very 'dark' sides - as you'll see in the story!
- Epigenetic identity re-programming - this is one of the most powerful mindset tools I've found in 14 years of self-experimentation.
- Mnemonic 'Memory Palaces' that make lust - not a master - but a tool for creativity and semantic smarts.
- Sex hacking - Tantra, sexual transmutation techniques, and herbal libido enhancers - all in the book. Yeah, this is a spicy one!
- Frame control, seduction dynamics, and other real-life "Jedi Mind Tricks."
- I'm spilling some metaphorical ink to ensure it's a funny book. I dare say it will make you laugh out loud at points!
- The book has over a hundred footnotes, giving you link rabbit holes and more information about the different Biohacks and lifehacks that drive the story forward.
Hourglass is around 370 pages and an 11-hour audiobook, but it is a thriller - almost every chapter ends with a cliffhanger that will keep you guessing - it won't take you three months to get through!
BEFORE YOU ASK: It's not on Amazon or Audible - I'm author-banned on Amazon.
