DMT, consciousness, and a universe described as information

Andrew R. Gallimore brings neuroscience, computer science, physics, and pharmacology together to build a speculative account of reality as a digital, information-based system. DMT is the book’s central lens: its discussion moves from how the brain constructs subjective experience to how psychedelic drugs may alter that experience, then develops the idea of access to dimensions beyond ordinary perception. Full-colour diagrams accompany the explanations. The scope extends from the organization of information into complex forms to a broader “cosmic game” model of conscious life, making the book an interdisciplinary exploration of psychedelic experience and theories about the structure of the universe.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in DMT and psychedelic experience.
  • Readers exploring intersections of neuroscience, physics, computer science, and pharmacology.
  • Readers curious about information-based theories of reality and consciousness.

Book overview

Since prehistory, humans have used a range of psychedelic drugs for communion with the gods, connection with nature, or for the pure pleasure and wonder they generate as they transform the mind and the world. But one natural psychedelic in particular towers above the rest in its astonishing power to replace the normal waking world with a bizarre alternate reality replete with a diverse panoply of intelligent alien beings. As well as being the most powerful, N, N-dimethyltryptamine, more commonly known as DMT, is also the most common naturally-occurring psychedelic and can be found in countless plant species scattered across the Earth. DMT carries a profound message embedded in our reality, a message that we are now beginning to decode.

In Alien Information Theory, neurobiologist, chemist, and pharmacologist, Dr. Andrew R. Gallimore, explains how DMT provides the secret to the very structure of our reality, and how our Universe can be likened to a cosmic game that we now find ourselves playing.

Gallimore explains how our reality was constructed using a fundamental code which generated our Universe -- and countless others -- as a digital device built from pure information with the purpose of enabling conscious intelligences, such as ourselves, to emerge. You will learn how fundamental digital information self-organises and complexifies to generate the myriad complex forms and organisms that fill our world; how your brain constructs your subjective world and how psychedelic drugs alter the structure of this world; how DMT switches the reality channel by allowing the brain to access information from normally hidden orthogonal dimensions of reality. And, finally, you will learn how DMT provides the secret to exiting our Universe permanently -- to complete the cosmic game and 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.
