Since prehistory, humans have used a range of psychedelic drugs for communion with the gods, connection with nature, or for the pure pleasure and wonder they generate as they transform the mind and the world. But one natural psychedelic in particular towers above the rest in its astonishing power to replace the normal waking world with a bizarre alternate reality replete with a diverse panoply of intelligent alien beings. As well as being the most powerful, N,N-dimethyltryptamine, more commonly known as DMT, is also the most common naturally-occurring psychedelic and can be found in countless plant species scattered across the Earth. DMT carries a profound message embedded in our reality, a message that we are now beginning to decode.

In Alien Information Theory, neurobiologist, chemist, and pharmacologist, Dr. Andrew R. Gallimore, explains how DMT provides the secret to the very structure of our reality, and how our Universe can be likened to a cosmic game that we now find ourselves playing.

Gallimore explains how our reality was constructed using a fundamental code which generated our Universe — and countless others — as a digital device built from pure information with the purpose of enabling conscious intelligences, such as ourselves, to emerge. You will learn how fundamental digital information self-organises and complexifies to generate the myriad complex forms and organisms that fill our world; how your brain constructs your subjective world and how psychedelic drugs alter the structure of this world; how DMT switches the reality channel by allowing the brain to access information from normally hidden orthogonal dimensions of reality. And, finally, you will learn how DMT provides the secret to exiting our Universe permanently — to complete the cosmic game and to become interdimensional citizens of hyperspace.

Alien Information Theory is a unique account of this hidden structure of reality and our place within it, drawing on a diverse range of disciplines -- including neuroscience, computer science, physics, and pharmacology -- to carefully explain these complex ideas, which are illustrated with full-colour diagrams throughout.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"I highly recommend this remarkable, deeply thought-provoking, well-written and actually unique book. The evidence and analysis presented on DMT and its role as a reality modulator will -- literally -- blow your mind."

Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the Gods, and of Supernatural; Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind.

"It is no exaggeration to claim that the book is a work of art: a hard, heavy block full of Gallimore's own twentieth-century EGA-like retro block graphics, interweaving pixelated fonts that combine to express a pixel-like pixie reality. The fact alone that a computational neurobiologist also has the skill of a professional graphic designer and typesetter is indicative of the masterful mind of this Japan-based Englishman."

Peter Sjostedt-H, author of Noumenautics: Metaphysics - Meta-Ethics - Psychedelics, and of Neo-Nihilism: The Philosophy of Power

An important book

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book ties together many things I myself have been noodling on for some time. Cellular automata, the informational nature of reality, nondualism, other "dimensions," alien intelligences, etc. It brings me joy that more people seem to be coming around to the nature of things. Also, the book is simply gorgeous, in all of its 8-bit glory.

One thing, however, is that I kind of disagree with the final several sentences of the book. Such a procedure is hardly necessary -- we already exist on that plane of existence. RIGHT. NOW. We don't have to be "reconstructed there," we are already there. The frame of reference we are experiencing on Earth is not something to be escaped from, it is what we came here to experience. We are not supposed to live in the DMT reality as humans, we live in the DMT reality as the things we really are. And those things are doing just fine. There is nothing lost to reclaim.

Other than that difference of perspective, I must say, the book is a masterpiece.

Good book. Glad I bought it. Heard about it on the Psychedelic Salon Podcast. Would reccomend to non hippies and hippies alike.
OK, just finished the book and it is interesting but the final hypothesis.. our brains can be uploaded to a higher dimensional reality... I would like to see some scientific work showing this is a possibility and not just a wild fantasy.

Incredibly Curated Work of Academic Art

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2019

Verified Purchase

I have been a fan of Andrew Gallimore's work for quite a while now. Have been reading his papers and have watched all of his YouTube lectures. What I loved so much about his previous work was how fun and interesting his writing was, and how it always maintained an academic rigour. This book is an incredible extension of that, or rather, a culmination of Gallimore's artistic inclinations and scientific thinking.

The book is just stunning, with a coherent digital pixel-aesthetic running throughout its entirety. I have not yet finished reading it, so I will update this review upon completion, but so far, it has been wonderful. The visuals greatly enhance the reading experience. I cannot wait to fully bite into the book and feast on its contents!

Neuroscience from the Far Future!

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

I discovered Andrew Gallimore's fascinating work in the wonderful book DMT Dialogues, and then absolutely loved his book Alien Information Theory. It reads like a neuroscience book from the far future, or from a higher dimension of reality. Ever since I met Terence McKenna, and had my first experience in what is now known as "DMT hyperspace" in 1984, I've been obsessed with learning everything that I can about this remarkable state of conscious, and whether they're is actually an independent reality to the beings that I encountered there, and that many people report from their experience with high-dose DMT. For those who have followed Terence and Dennis Mckenna's work, Rick Strassman's research, and the ever-growing internet reports, this book adds a brilliant and unique perspective on how our brains may become receptive to higher dimensional aspects of reality by increasing the brain's DMT levels. The book starts out simple and the complexity slowly builds and builds, until he reveals what he believes the goal of life to be. Much of the book is speculation, of course, but grounded in good science, and Gallimore's research proposal for prolonged DMT states-- "target-controlled intravenous infusion of DMT" are mind-blowing, and I'm sitting on the edge of my seat watching as this astonishing research develops. It appears that we've discovered how to make contact with alien beings, and this appears to be the biggest breakthrough in human history. I found it difficult to put this book down; it stimulated so many amazing ideas in my head. If you're interested in the relationship between DMT and consciousness, the true nature of reality, contact with higher intelligence and alien environments--- I couldn't possibly recommend this incredible book more highly!

A breakthrough read and a great step in the Escher-staircase of psychonaut space exploration

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

I know some people griped about the font but I loved it. It's not a traditional read by any means and the artwork and presentation only enhance that fact. I also thought the entire presentation fit perfectly within the theme of the book - it's a work of art. So reading a work of art, about a work of art we are imprisoned in, was almost...liberating? Not quite! A real mind-bender that would have made McKenna and Lilly proud.

As soon as I got this book I knew I was going to cherish it. The book certainly encapsulates a very special aspect of the zeitgeist of this age. I'm going to give it another read, it gets pretty deep and is chock full of technical jargon. Nothing too heavy though, I studied physics in school so I'm more than happy to read a psychonaut waxing philosophical and scientific. I was thoroughly impressed with the ideas presented in this book. It's another step in the Escher-staircase of psychonaut theory and one of the best I've read.

There were some very surreal parts that involved things happening to me that coincided EXTREMELY strangely with what I would then read in the book. Synchronicity doesn't feel like it does it justice - that intense. I felt like the artist of the great game definitely had a grin at my expense while reading this. Truly profound. That's the thing I always found most mystifying about DMT - the inexplicable synchronous events that happen BEFORE the encounter, that only make sense after a breakthrough. A mystifying precursor to the psychedelic experience of this profound chemical. I know that makes sense to the people with the right kind of eyes.

Strange fascinating book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 18, 2019

If I'm honest it's hard going at points, but well worth it. I find myself having to reread chapters (and look stuff up) but it makes a fascinating read. The author is a polymath, drawing on subjects as diverse as particle physics, neurology, computer science, chemistry and biology and forming a brilliant and engaging hypothesis

A good book which could have been great

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

This was an overall interesting and entertaining read. The author lightly covers topics from information theory, cellular automata and neuroscience to lay out a theory of what possibly reality is at its core. Gallimore takes you by the hand in understanding and constructing upon the required foundation topics. Later down the line, the author tries to show you under his model, how and why DMT shatters our constructed perception of consensus reality and replaces it with a completely foreign one.

While I'm pretty happy with the first two thirds of the book, the last part seemed quite a stretch to entertain for a non-fiction book. Likening DMT to an alien technology embedded in our reality, and an intelligence test for evolved beings to communicate and integrate a transdimensional hypergrid is beyond what I'm willing to believe with the arguments given. At this point the author seems to ignore some basic logic premises such as correlation doesn't imply causation. An example of this line of though can be found by suggesting that since foetus have higher levels of DMT in their brain that would explain the "familiarity" experienced during a DMT trip and why the machine elves welcome you back to the DMT world with a celebratory uproar.

Apart from the less positive points above, I still recommend the reading. I understand that the path taken near the end of the book might appeal to the more speculative kind of audience. Also, it's good to be able to read deviations from mainstream science which consistently fail to explain even the most basic premises about what is consciousness and reality at its core.

Regarding the physical construction of the book (this review is of the hardcover version), it is nicely printed on thick pages. I wish the font was more clear though it adds to the retro feel of the illustrations, resembling the output from old dot matrix printers. The book is filled throughout with interesting and inspiring illustrations of the themes covered. My only gripe is that for a hardcover I'd expect the folios to be sewn together instead of being just glued to a softcover that is attached to the cover.

In a nutshell, it's not perfect but good nonetheless. I'm honestly interested in finding out how the author view of the subject matter will change a few years down the line, hopefuly with more DMT scientific experiments under his belt. So, grab a copy and enjoy the ride!

Difficult to read. No, really!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 7, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is one of the most difficult books to read I have ever owned. The subject matter is... dense, that is a given. In places it is a brilliant expose of the subject, with the occasional 'boggle' moment.
However, I just can't read it - as in, read it! I would normally finish a title such as this in 3 days to a week - 20 days after purchase, I am on about page 65.
I'm looking at it now, wanting to carry on, but the 'clever' 1980s Sinclair font, the blue squiggles, the white on black font...
You can read this is in afternoon sun, if your eyes are feeling up to it, however, otherwise it is simply a struggle.
I could only advise the Kindle edition - perhaps it is possible to read?
As I finish this review, AIT is looking at me.
I'd love to read it.
If only I could see the text...
