SOMNIUM season 2 - Eric Lunde - Bog

WELCOME TO ANOTHER ACTION-PACKED SEASON OF SOMNIUM! SEASON 2: OPERATION KATABASIS! THIS SEASON, OUR PROTAGONIST DRIVES THROUGH THE OPEN WASTELAND OF THE MUNDANE, CONFRONTS NUMEROUS THREATS AND CONFRONTS THE CONDITIONS THAT MAKE THE AFFLICTION HE SUFFERS FROM POSSIBLE, THAT BEING THE TRUMAN SHOW SYNDROME!
Not necessarily based on but coordinating with the book Somnium, seu opus posthumum De astronomia lunari by Johannes Kepler. Written in Latin in 1608, it purports to present a detailed imaginative description of how the Earth might look when viewed from the Moon. That's where any resemblance ends.
This Somnium presents a detailed description of how the earth might look from sleep. How life might look from other perspectives. A cosmogony of dreamed proofs through which the author gets to occupy events of different perspectives from Borges, John Cale and Kepler to film noir, science fiction, prosperity gospel and other hidden appropriations.
Somnium is composed of 137 episodes of 137 words (think physics not psychics....) the significance being that in physics 137 was once believed to be the exact value of the fine-structure constant, a number which, according to Leon Lederman, "shows up naked all over the place."
