    Book summary >>>
    Ulysses arrived on Planet Earth with an invisible space ship after light years of travel. He came from Planet
    Progress. It was only during the last two generations that the people of Planet Progress actually secured the survival
    of the human species on their planet. They came very close to self-extinction
    For over a century Planet Earth has been under observation by the scientists of Planet Progress. These
    scientists were amazed to discover the great similarities between the two planets. They also understood the criticality
    of the next two centuries for the survival of the human species on planet earth
    They chose Ulysses to carry out this rescue mission, for many reasons . But perhaps the most convincing
    reason was his unique ability to "see" into the subconscious of other people and, without speaking, directly
    communicate with their minds . And so the Story begins .
    It is about the Eternal Human saga .
    Why are we here? Who are we? Should we question our values? What is our place in the universe?
