Initiation by darkness

Initiation by darkness is a talking oxymoron. What does he say, and to whom?

The novel begins darkly: the world after the catastrophe, the new Middle Ages. Feudalism under the dictates of Artificial Thought. And in the midst of all that rubble, charged with a strange, slightly perverse, decadent beauty - the Planet. A creature that slowly unfolds a story. Inside and outside, here and there, up and down. A kind of personal and cosmic archaeology all rolled into one. A story of self-discovery, of integration. A story of the harmonisation of the male and female principles, the merging of reality and dream, the happy reunion of soul and body. All this against the backdrop of a spiral developmental path. With the help of magical objects and friends, with seven signposts scattered in the ruins of the ancient city. And with traditional flavours: criticism and comedy, entertainment plus education.
Genre-wise, it is a joyful mix of science fiction, dystopia, fairy tale and myth, adventure, bildungsroman. There's a light at the end: the knowledge that one has a chance, a hope. And not only against Artificial Thinking - especially against himself.
