An unusual novel of philosophic proportions worthy of Philip K. Dick and Isaac Asimov, Rainhut by computer scientist and adventurer Robert Adamson stimulates both the intellect and the imagination. Set in the exotic location of Kauai, Rainhut delves into both Hindu and Buddhist theology and far-reaching cosmic questions such as Fermi's Paradox, which illustrates the contradiction between the likelihood of extraterrestrial civilizations and the lack of evidence to support their existence.
Rainhut is not bound by genre, although it uses science fiction as a medium to communicate its theories of existentialism. Adamson found his inspiration among the literary--Ralph Waldo Emerson's poem Maya, the result of Emerson's exploration of the Bhagavad-Gita--as well as his own love of science fiction, which sparked the question framed by Shklovsky, "Where are the Cosmic Wonders?"
A challenging novel that deals with physics, technology, religion, and outer space, Rainhut is yet a lucid work, its characters appealing in their humanity, romantic entanglements, and enthusiastic daring. Adamson succeeds in doing with fiction what many academic publications fail to do: raise questions about reality and cause speculation about its alternative possibilities.
