Jimbo’s Assumption: New Edition
Coming Soon
Part philosophical excursion, part sci-fi odyssey, Jimbo’s Assumption follows Jimbo, an unassuming student whose ordinary life is transformed by an extraordinary encounter with a galactic Intelligence and its curious envoy, 221.
The new edition brings fresh artwork, added material, and a sharper focus on the questions that matter most: how intelligence evolves in individuals, in civilisation, and perhaps beyond Earth itself.

A few reader responses to the novel’s distinctive blend of scientific thought, story, humour, and wonder.
Unique and engaging odyssey into the science and fiction of human development and reason. A recommended read for both young adults and more mature fans of the magic of engineering and wonders of emerging civilisation.Philip D. Hume
I really enjoyed this book, an excellent mixture of science history and science fiction. I particularly liked the enigmatically named alien “221”.John Watt
