It left him with only one conclusion: the world as we know it is run by an exclusive class of American racketeers....

Jake Anders never expected the latest VR game to transport him to a real-life fantasy world. It's the first thing he must come to terms with in Eldoria: this is no game. The stakes are real.

The Superluminal Universe reveals, for the first time in English, the incredible insights of French quantum physicist Professor Regis Dutheil. Thanks to the development of particle accelerators, physicists are now able to propel particles (tachyons) at a speed close to that of light (300,000 km per second).
