Ever since the monumental success of The Da Vinci Code (2003; 85 million copies sold; translated into 44 languages) Brown has been the epitome of the successful popular novelist.
But his latest novel in the Robert Langdon series, The Secret of Secrets, astonishingly, as well as being a highly-readable page-turner, is based on exactly the things the SMN investigates, proclaims and stands for, namely the ontological priority of consciousness and the existence of dimensions to the universe that are other than material.
David Lorimer and Lance Butler will be in dialogue with Dan Brown and will hope to find out how a firm scientific-materialist came to make another whiz-bang plot out of the ideas which we, along with all members of the SMN, espouse, and then found out for himself that, in truth, the great secret of the universe, hidden by so much of modern thought, may be that there is a lot more to heaven and earth than the physical.
This event will include a live Q&A.
