Road Trip in Nirvana
Buddha, Jesus and Luna Travel to Los Angeles
Luna needs a record deal. Jesus needs directions. Buddha would prefer everyone stop asking him to explain everything.
Stranded in a blistering Phoenix heat wave, aspiring musician Luna Reyes finds an unlikely ride to Los Angeles: a battered van called Nirvana, occupied by two men who insist they are Jesus and Buddha. Neither understands an automatic toilet. Both have opinions about her life.
Luna has opinions of her own, and no intention of putting her dreams aside to manage two men’s enlightenment.
But the road west offers more than broken engines and theological arguments. Across a landscape strained by punishing heat, water shortages, and wildfire, strangers need help that no sermon can provide. Meanwhile, dark vehicles keep appearing behind them. Her companions remember things they shouldn’t. And an offer of desperately needed money comes with instructions Luna cannot afford to ignore.
As Los Angeles draws closer, keeping her dream alive could cost her the trust of the only people traveling beside her.
Road Trip in Nirvana is a comic philosophical road novel that gradually reveals itself as an AI-alignment novel without abandoning its human-scale concerns.
