While keeping the question of a non-human and\/or paranormal element open, the book maps how all-too-human agendas (such as the CIA's MK Ultra program) have co-opted the ancient psychological process of myth-making, giving rise to dissociative, dumbed-down Hollywood versions of reality. The New Age movement, UFOs, alien abductions, psychism, psychedelic mind expansion, Transhumanism, the Space Program - what if they are all productions devised by committee in dark rooms to serve social, political, and economic goals that are largely devoid of true substance or meaning? \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThrough an exacting and enlivening process of social, cultural and psychological examination and excavation, \u003cem\u003ePrisoner of Infinity\u003c\/em\u003e uncovers the most deeply buried treasure of all.
