“Brilliant, original, and damned funny as well!” —Robert Anton Wilson, co-author of the Illuminatus! trilogy and The Cosmic Trigger. When a small-town private eye is hired by a big name science fiction writer to find out why everything he writes comes true, the metaphysical assignment leads the young detective into a labyrinth of bizarre and life-threatening incidents, any one of which could be either incredible coincidence or part of a complex, carefully orchestrated conspiracy. He risks losing his client, his mind and even his life as he walks this razor’s edge between coincidence and conspiracy to its unexpected resolution. Set in the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 1970s, The Uncertainty Principle? captures the offbeat atmosphere of the underground of the era: a playground of science fiction writers, religious cultists and dangerous psychotics. The Uncertainty Principle? combines comic capers with a novel mystery to create a mystery novel that is, in fact, novel. “Reads like a mashup of Raymond Chandler, Jorge Luis Borges and Donald E. Westlake.” —ComiCaper
