So we as people always question things. Question why things are the way they are, and why do they happen. Basically the big question of why.

The author, Lee Maracle, believes that understanding how the universe works is important because aside from reading a novel, I can very much say that in society, we always have questions. But we never know the answer until the events have already happened.
