Out of the Gray is an unusual love story between a beautiful neurologist and a social scientist who frantically tries to understand neuroscience before losing his memory due to early-onset Alzheimer's disease. The novel explores the mind, consciousness, morality, memory, the biochemistry of love and happiness, sexuality in all its manifestations, mental illness, and the relationship between artificial and biological consciousness. The origin of God in the human mind is explored to the delight of both those who believe and those who do not believe in anything. The characters have fun, worry and are sad, and all this is presented so witty that even a reader with a heart of stone cannot help but laugh and cry. The juices of life will flow out of the gray and turn into a cosmic cocktail.
