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?
