The Left Path boutique is a division of TRANSHUMANISM INC., where Marcus Sorgenfrei, a detective in a can, works. The boutique offers black magic trips to its wealthiest clients. The service is kept under wraps due to potential reputational damage—what politician or banker would want to admit to communicating with demons in a simulation?
Mysterious disappearances of clients must be investigated secretly. The corporation sends Marcus on an alchemical trip simulation with the highest risk factor—he becomes a 16th-century Italian warlock, gains magical powers with the help of a magical grimoire, and battles powerful Venetian mages.
It soon becomes clear that not only his life but also his soul is in danger. But Marcus is already on the trail, and his superior, Admiral-Bishop Lomas, decides to continue the investigation.
Is it possible to destroy a soul in a simulation while preserving it in reality, and what constitutes reality for the soul? What will the religion of the future be, and can AI create it? Is a simulated salvation possible, and how does it differ from genuine salvation? Where should we seek God, and should we seek it?
Markus Sorgenfrei plunges once again into the abyss and risks his life so that the reader can receive a literary, flawless, and captivating answer to these daunting questions, right under the cozy shadow of his own roof.
A prior reading of the previous volumes of "Transhumanism Inc." is not required.
