At the ground of our reality there is a code running. It is a code from which this universe and countless others emerge and unfold with infinite variety of form.This code constructs our universe as a computational device for culturing conscious intelligences. We are one of those intelligences emergent within this lower-dimensional digital reality. As intelligences evolve, a small number reach a certain level of cognitive and technological sophistication and become candidates for a cosmic game, the final stages of which we now find ourselves playing.The key to this game is a technology embedded in our reality, which takes the form of a powerful psychedelic drug -- a message -- scattered throughout the natural world: N, N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT). When DMT enters the brain, it grants entry to a miraculously complex hyperdimensional realm -- hyperspace -- lying orthogonal to ours and to an audience with the multitudinous alien intelligences that reside therein.Ultimately, by mastering this technology, humans will complete the game and exit this universe permanently to become interdimensional citizens of hyperspace.Alien Information Theory is a unique account of this hidden structure of reality and our place within it, drawing on a diverse range of disciplines -- including neuroscience, computer science, physics, and pharmacology -- to carefully explain these complex ideas, which are illustrated with full-colour diagrams throughout.

You are in possession of an exquisite machine motionlessly buoyant in the softly circulating fluids of your skull. A world-building machine. And psychedelic molecules are the tools for tuning and operating this machine...From LSD to magic mushrooms to DMT to Salvia divinorum, psychedelics are used across the globe to stimulate the brain and change the nature of the subjective world. In sufficient doses, these molecules have the potential, not only to alter the structure of the normal waking world, but to replace it entirely - to hurl the tripper into fantastical realms of immense complexity and strangeness, bursting with extraordinary ecologies of apparently intelligent and communicative beings. Whilst these effects seem almost impossible to comprehend, let alone explain, as our understanding the brain's ability to construct our model of reality in normal waking life deepens, the mechanism by which psychedelic molecules perturb its world-building machinery such that entirely novel and unimaginably bizarre worlds emerge begins to reveal itself.Chemical pharmacologist and neurobiologist Dr. Andrew R. Gallimore (author of Alien Information Theory: Psychedelic Drug Technologies and the Cosmic Game) explains in unprecedented depth and detail how psychedelic molecules interface with the human brain, alter the structure and dynamics of the experienced world, and rapidly and efficiently switch the brain's reality channel, opening up a vast number of alternate worlds for discovery and exploration. Ultimately, using both molecular and post-molecular technologies, humans will be able to enter countless different worlds at will, to establish communication with the beings resident therein, and to engineer reality itself.
