DedicationTo all the dead bodies who taught us anatomy
(A synopsis objectified on demand exists in the middle of the manuscript)
God is fascinated with his walking and talking human laptop so much so that he's completely immersed in its innards, which conjure remarkable dream sequences in its LCD screen from time to time. Gradually he begins to believe the laptop isn't separate from him and completely forgets he's God. All he can recollect from his Godly existence is a black LCD screen all around with a boring drone of Aum coming from time to time. The screen saver dreams, on the human laptop come as a lifesaver but is at the same time a vulnerable toy, prone to disease and disrepair. God starts searching for a mechanic, who knows all about his human system. All he finds is a host of assembly line workers who know bits and pieces but can't tackle his system as a whole.
Finally he meets the professor who advises him to learn system trouble shooting, but for which he needs to make a fresh start as a medical student in an Earthy material plane. God comes to Earth into the family of Samsara and Maya who name their daughter Juneli, who grows up to be a medical student and an accomplished physician. She learns a lot for God who utilizes her as his own laptop till he finishes learning the works. However in the midst of all this learning, which God realizes is endless and ever changing, his laptop, the body of June, is afflicted by a deadly virus.
The story line begins with God taking the plunge with his laptop June into the Earthy material life. A plunge that makes him fall through life and is bound to end in death. Death smashes his laptop's hard disc into tiny bits and pieces. The nonlinear narrative as a result tries to pick up these broken fragments and brings out God's journey through the human body in its tree like statistical self-similarity with the Earth and the universe, which exists in an atom. It portrays microcosmic interactions inside the human body at a macrocosmic level of day to day living on an Earthy scale. God becomes well versed with the anatomy and circuitry of the various intricate components of his machine but also realizes that it has developed in an evolving assembly line whose creators are long dead and nobody till date understands perfectly how the damn thing works. However there are theories, stories of atoms and molecules and their subatomic families regularly utilized to explain how semi conductor chips work inside our bodies. Throughout the ages, stories take on multicolored hues, theories on the nature of God, Earth and self-evolving machines…the science is ever changing.
