THE EPIC OF HATE & LOVE at 3142 meter above sea level
HATE & LOVE IN THREE WORLDS
In the middle of Bali which looks beautiful but pulsates like Door to Hell, Ethics are not born entirely from scripture, but are rooted in human encounters with nature and power. The prayer beads and the Bandit constitute a living curriculum, formulated on ten mountains, validated in the centers of world civilization: Mahameru, the Himalayas, Mecca, Rome, and Jerusalem.
This science fiction novel blends economics, management, politics, culture, and sociology to address one fundamental question: Does progress really make humans more honest? Environmental ethics becomes the crucible in which all these disciplines are melted, giving birth to a philosophy that is both fascinating and dangerous.
In a world that tends to go astray, Hatred and Love grow as the two most human talents. If you want peace, fight, whisper the Gods of Lake and Ghania, a paradox that Hermes and Narada brought to Mayapada. The winner is not the strongest, but the one who is fed the most.
This story moves across generations, from the early myths of Manu and Shatarupa, to Lucy the Homo sapiens, to Japanese geishas and Chinese concubines. From the glory of King Dharmala, to the struggle for religious truth, to the justice of the Malka Republic, to the irony of honesty in the digital age. From the cruel world of Sekala, to the innocence of Pretaloka, to the cycle of reincarnation that demands repentance.
Bali exists not as a backdrop, but as an idea. It is a spiritual postulate, not born randomly, not easily refuted. It can be refuted by Crooked Forest, Roraima, Magnetic Hill, and Underwater Waterfall.
The characters are sharp, dark, and witty yet deadly, capable of making readers laugh, then pause for a long time, questioning their own choices.
