Prisoner of Infinity: UFOs, Social Engineering, and the Psychology of Fragmentation

Using UFOs and the work of "experiencer" Whitley Strieber as its departure point, Prisoner of Infinity explores how beliefs are created and perceptions are managed in the face of the inexplicably complex forces of our existence.
