Description
In this mesmerizing and hilarious exploration of music’s transformative power, Doctor Mizzieri and his partner Gelsomina are propelled into a journey where music bends reality itself.
Deceived by his enigmatic pupil Praterius, they find themselves at the edge of enlightenment—and madness—driven by innovations in music that blur the lines between reality and illusion. From AI-inspired propaganda like the Mexican Robin Hood, La Carambada, to musically triggered blockchains and Crotox, a cryptocurrency based on skin-rejuvenators, the stakes are high.
Navigate between mundane and surreal worlds, traveling from the forested hills of New York to the mountaintop Italian city of Ravello, the forgotten corners of Venice where those unfit for technology are exiled, and finally, deep into the South American rainforest, where the environment itself becomes a living symphony.
But as music reshapes their reality, the question arises: will it elevate human consciousness or lead to submission under Praterius’s sinister ambitions?
Can music—when wielded wisely—save the mortal soul or doom it?
