An ancient manuscript has been discovered that may contain a blueprint for the foundation of a perfect society. It causes a stir in the arenas of science, politics, academia and philosophy, not only for its content and anthropological significance, but also because the scholars who have studied it believe that an alien being has authored the text. His name is Natloz. He is the survivor of an ancient extraterrestrial civilization that came to Earth thousands of years ago following the destruction of their own planet. He has profound knowledge to share: the paradigm of a social order free from the constraints of money, class, and unnaturally imposed moral rectitude. The prospect is of an advanced culture whose fundamental doctrine is simply to enjoy life to its fullest and permit others to do the same.Gerlack imaginatively puts forth his own sophisticated system of belief --integrating the principles of Marxism with Platonic philosophy--in the compelling guise of a mysterious document that has survived through time and adverse conditions to impart its vital message.The Book of the Recorder asks if we have the courage and integrity to create Utopia. It celebrates Man's limitless intellectual capacity in an intriguing and challenging narrative that describes the provocative vision of a new social order void of present day pitfalls.
