The
Stone of Pithan is the story of the next phase of human evolution.
A mysterious shaman miraculously cures a young girl in a run down
hospital. A physicist discovers an ancient book that contains a drawing
of a double helix and a form of mathematics that surpasses current
scientific knowledge. A geneticist is exiled to a remote island when
fanatical right wing extremists open fire on a crowd of demonstrators.
The stock market takes a dramatic slump when a mysterious malaise
begins to spread throughout the world. All these events become woven
together by bizarre coincidences, and new religion emerges that is
based on Chaos Theory. This religion embraces current scientific knowledge
but rejects the concepts of free will and chance as illusions.
