- Author, Grant Morrison
"Grant Morrison is a post-modern myth-maker."
- Deepak Chopra, from the introduction
"Readers are immediately cast into the inner workings of Morrison's mind and there is little time to take pause and reorient oneself. Yet, this feeling of being thrown deep into the creative waters is not disorienting as Morrison's skills as a craftsman and storyteller are vividly apparent from the inception. Adding to this comfort in unfamiliar territory are the stellar visualizations and designs by Mukesh Singh."
