Nick je prequel slavného románu Francise Scotta Fitzgeralda Velký Gatsby, který se stal mezníkem v dějinách světové literatury. Ústředním hrdinou je zde vypravěč Gatsbyho Nick Carraway – román sleduje jeho osudy předtím, než se přistěhoval na Long Island. Nickův příběh se ani v nejmenším nepodobá pozdějším zážitkům jazzového věku: Nick je zapojen do krvavé tragédie, již nazýváme první světová válka, a pak se snaží na válku zapomenout a oddálit návrat k rodině: přežívá v Paříži, v New Orleansu… Román je vynikajícím portrétem výjimečné doby a zároveň úchvatným, obecně platným příběhem objevování vlastního já. Autor vdechl nový, plný život postavě, kterou mnozí znají, ale málokdo se nad ní zamyslí hlouběji. Michael Farris Smith skládá osobní, upřímný hold F. S. Fitzgeraldovi a zároveň odhaluje, jaký člověk se skrývá za nenápadným zjevem vypravěče jednoho z největších světových románů.

What is the true nature of reality? How does consciousness fit in? Why is love the most powerful force we feel? In this paradigm shifting book you will discover a remarkably simple and profound answer to all these questions and everything is consciousness emerging from love.By imagining the simplest conceptual way of creating "something" from "nothing," as cycles of prime numbers in base-12, Michael Smith reveals the elegant vibrational pattern which emerges. Taking the shape of a double-helix probability waveform which manifests as a torus in physical 3D, this base-12 prime vibration seems to be the fundamental creative blueprint of reality itself.The prime vibration not only explains what we see at all scales of nature but also what we don't the wave-particle duality of consciousness in action and our eternal spiritual nature. Unifying science and spirituality through the vibrational geometry of numbers, this compelling "Theory of Everything" suggests how love may indeed be at the heart of it all. Most importantly, it shows how we can expand and master love in our personal lives and create a more harmonious world together.
