Tom is a young journalist, a skeptic, and a man of reason. Having written a book about pseudoscience, he finds himself surrounded by crackpots and New Age hippies. Desperate to break into serious reporting, he accepts an assignment to investigate Alternative Science, an organization of pseudoscientists based in the west of Ireland.

Tom's inquiry takes him into a world of mind-boggling physics, biology, and psychology. Confronted with such inanities as the giggling bure (a creature that attacks the human mind with logical fallacies), the theory of anti-colour (imperceptible colours created by splitting black), and cognitive dissonance therapy, Tom must keep his sanity intact as he decides whether to believe any of it.

Perfect for fans of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, and Flann O'Brien, Alternative Science takes on deep philosophy and popular science with an unmistakable Irish irony that will leave you wondering what the hell this reality is all about.
