It starts with a cosmonaut attending a Futurological Congress in a bomb free hotel in Costa Rica. Weird things happen in and outside the hotel. There is man plotting to kill the pope and in another floor a banquet for Literated Literature, attended by degenerate folks. Gases and hallucinations. Police and bombs. The cosmonaut ends up trying to escape the chaos but gets injured. When he wakes up, he is in the future and the world is even weirder than before.
This is a serious satire, with humour and absurdities. Political and social commentary. A philosophical novel raising questions about the nature of reality, technology and the use of drugs. It reminded me of Philip K Dick, as reality becomes a layered puzzle.
