Synopsis of Fuzzy Dice

How badly could you screw up when granted access to infinite worlds conforming to your heart's most intimate desires? No matter how much of a botch you or I might make of such a miraculous gift, rest assured that Paul Girard, hapless middle-aged Bookstore clerk, can hilariously surpass your worst fumblings and missteps.

Visited one morning by a dimension-hopping artificial intelligence named Hans, Paul is given the ability to jump instantly to any world he can envision. But without truly knowing himself, Paul soon discovers that framing a wish that gets the expected results is not as easy as it first appears. From the depths of the Big Bang to a world where hippies rule; from a land of Amazons to one of where life is a video-game; from a society where cooperation means everything to one where individual chaos rules - across these bizarre dimensions and many others, Paul races in the search for happiness, love, wealth, status - and the answer to the Ontological Pickle. Acquiring comrades and enemies along the way, our feckless alternaut reaches a cul-de-sac from which the only exit is death.

And then his adventures really begin.

I wanted to laugh out loud as I had done reading that first chapter but basically I felt like I had been sold short all through the rest of the Book -- Donna Jones, SF Crowsnest

Smart, funny and not for the faint of heart, Fuzzy Dice is a journey to explain some of the most prevalent theories that explain our existence, and a journey to discover, not why we...re here, but why it matters. -- Cindy Lynn Speer, Fantastica Daily
