Five long trips in a mysterious and unusual part of the universe. There you will become acquainted with belligerent plutonidians, indomitable rebels fighting against mind control occult power, and lastly brain merchants. Also along the way you will also meet weird engineered creatures playing an unwitting part in life and brave galactic explorers. A great war opens the surreal scenarios of the Mother Galaxy. But what is it that really controls the mechanisms of the Universe? Why does Zetana not 'connect' like everyone else? UIGO is an inter-galactic reporter who finds the ultimate story beyond infinity in search of new realities. Will he change the perception of the Universe? A curious small grey fellow, Meba, happily flutters with his motormembrane, plays virtual games and pushes mysterious buttons. Can he succeed in challenging his “cognocractic” rulers. And finally, what will be the sensational outcome of an encounter between two powerful leaders inside a simulation of their own memories? *** "This book is a collection of five tales which in a way reflect the ideas that I have further expanded and developed in my two novels. Technology and science are the driving forces of the far away worlds I describe, but above all each one of these short stories is really the celebration of the triumph of intelligence, both natural and artificial, that our species deserves."

Book Description
Planet Aqua, three hundred million years ago. A massive fleet of zègus, colossal alien spaceships, land on the planet serving for a while as self-sustaining homes. Soon enough though, Zègunians realise that Aqua is going through significant environmental upheavals. Despite the resilience of their zègus they know they won’t be able to stay much longer. Their scientists had identified previously unknown particles that they named conscirons with their associated field and which they believed might be related to the human brain. So technicians and scientists develop the HASAMAT, a technology that makes use of the new field and copies and projects consciousness into the cosmos at immeasurable speed. They are convinced that the HASAMAT could be a revolutionary way to explore the galaxy. UÌGO is an intrepid reporter-explorer. Despite skepticism from others, he volunteers to trial the HAZAMAT and undergoes the first journey to the enigmatic Gameogo, a potentially habitable planet at the edge of the galaxy. He is tasked with verifying the conditions of the planet. His arrival on Gameogo brings a surreal twist, as the components of his mind are reorganized into a new mental structure by the mysterious Gameogans. The narrative weaves through strange encounters, bizarre perceptions and the evolution of both minds and planets. As UIGO grapples with the fluidity of reality, profound questions arise about the nature of existence, the meaning of evolution and the interconnectedness of universes. Borrowed Brains is a thought-provoking and visionary tale that transcends the ordinary in an adventure from the complexities of the mind to the vastness of the cosmos.
