Ulysses arrived
on Planet Earth with an invisible space ship after light years of
travel. He came from Planet Progress. It was only during the last two
generations that the people of Planet Progress actually secured the
survival of the human species on their planet. They came very close to
self-extinction ...
For over a century Planet Earth has been under observation by the
scientists of Planet Progress. These scientists were amazed to
discover the great similarities between the two planets. They also
understood the criticality of the next two centuries for the survival
of the human species on planet earth ...
They chose Ulysses to carry out this rescue mission, for many
reasons... But perhaps the most convincing reason was his unique
ability to "see" into the subconscious of other people and,
without speaking, directly communicate with their minds ...
And so the Story begins.
It is about the Eternal Human saga ...
Why are we here? Who are we? Should we question our values? What is
our place in the universe?
