About this listen

To satisfy a public that longs for a savior, Vidal’s eponymous hero of Kalki, born and bred in America’s Midwest, establishes himself in Nepal, puts out the word that he is the last incarnation of the god Vishnu, and predicts an imminent apocalypse meant to cleanse the planet.

A good read from the 70's. Especially enjoyable during the Covid-19 outbreak. While scientifically flawed, Vidal's work fully displays the narcissism, egocentricity loneliness and self destructive nature of the human species. Sadly he is all too accurate.

A morality tale, wherein humans are proven amoral.
