Description

What did Iris see? Was it an accurate vision of the future or merely a drug-induced hallucination?

Iris, a twenty-year-old genius, stumbles into the ER after participating in an Ayahuasca ceremony, claiming to have traveled to the future. Dr. Kairos—the hospital psychiatrist on call that day—surreptitiously hits record on his iPhone as she begins recounting her time-travel tale.

Iris’s vivid descriptions of Earth circa 2300, its bizarre inhabitants, and her harrowing escape are far more detailed and imaginative than any delusional story Dr. Kairos has ever encountered. By the end of the interview, he believes he’s captured one of the most important delusional accounts ever told. But little does he know, her story—and his role within it—may, in the end, alter the fate of humanity.

Inspired by H.G. Wells’s The Time Machine, Eyes of Iris challenges our perceptions of reality and explores humanity's complex relationships with technology, our collective future, and each other.

Advance Praise

"Eyes of Iris will take readers on a mind-blowing rollercoaster of a ride. You don't know what to expect from this book as each page takes the story in unforeseen directions with surprising revelations. Joshua A.H. Harris infuses a healthy dose of thrills, mystery, and intrigue into a plot that is as unpredictable as it's captivating. The author builds on a promising premise to deliver a cautionary science-fiction tale that is dark and twisted yet thoroughly entertaining. You don't want to put the book down without finishing it. The characters have deep intellectual conversations that offer some thought-provoking insights into the fate of humanity. Artiste's calculating persona is the perfect foil to Iris' willpower and indomitable spirit. I also liked Dr. Kairos's character. Science fiction fans will love this book!" - Pikasho Deka, Readers' Favorite
