Im 21. Jahrhundert grassiert eine seltsame Epidemie auf der Erde, die durch Umweltverschmutzung und Revolten an den Rand des Abgrunds geraten ist. Wer von dieser neuen Seuche befallen wird, zieht sich in sich selbst zurück und beginnt zu träumen. Aber damit nicht genug - der Eskapismus offenbart sich in seiner ganzen Tragweite, als die ersten Träumer ganz aus dieser Welt aussteigen. Musikstücke als Meditationshilfe machen es möglich und lassen die Träumer in eine andere Welt entschwinden, die sie wie ein Paradies empfängt und wie ein Gefängnis festhält. Diese neue Welt stellt eine ungeheure Herausforderung für alle dar, die mit ihrzu tun haben: für die Stalker, die hinüberwechseln, um die Träumer lebend zurückzubringen, für den ersten weiblichen Präsidenten der IJSA und für den begehrenswerten Filmstar. Für sie alle ist die neue Welt der ultimate Trip...

Frankenstein oder Frankenstein oder Der moderne Prometheus (Original: Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus) ist ein Roman von Mary Shelley, der 1818 erstmals anonym veröffentlicht wurde. Er erzählt die Geschichte des jungen Schweizers Viktor Frankenstein, der an der damals berühmten Universität Ingolstadt einen künstlichen Menschen erschafft. Die Handlung wird durch eine Mischung aus Briefroman und klassischer Ich-Erzählsituation vermittelt. Viktor Frankenstein erzählt dem Leiter einer Forschungsexpedition, zugleich Eigner des Schiffes, das ihn in der Arktis rettet, seine Geschichte. Der Roman wird so zu einem Lehrstück, gibt Frankenstein doch deutlich zu verstehen, dass seine Erzählung auch eine Warnung an den Zuhörer und damit auch die Leser sein soll: Er warnt vor einer entgrenzten menschlichen Vernunft, die sich selbst zu Gott macht und sich anmaßt, lebendige Materie zu schaffen. Die Figur des Viktor Frankenstein ähnelt damit sowohl dem 'literarischen' Faust als auch dem Prometheus aus der griechischen Mythologie.
