Brain scientist George Jan Walder is obsessed with finding out how humans develop ideas. He spends his days hunting for a universal theory that explains the realm of thoughts, in which ideas roam freely and forge connections with our brains. His colleagues scorn him openly during his long quest, and George has to negotiate many pitfalls and obstacles. Despair takes hold of George repeatedly, threatening to bring him down and his ideas along with him. A chance encounter with a cheerful woman called Jenna unexpectedly leads to a breakthrough. The consequences of this massively important discovery soon clamp an iron fist around society, however. The realm of our thoughts turns out to have a dark side, as does Jenna. They will both chase him for years, until the inescapable end...

Richard Bintanja is a Dutch climate scientist who has written several novels, originally in Dutch. His expeditions to Antarctica were the inspiration for his first novel. Although there are many commonalities, the basis for his second novel lies much closer to home.

The Ultimate Brainchild is the translation of that second novel. This book may reverberate in your mind for a while… It is a carefully composed futuristic story, in which the author explores the origin of our thoughts and ideas. He shows us parallels between the tangible and the realm of our thoughts, in which ideas come to life.

Richard Bintanja has a wonderful talent for placing the small, trivial and coincidental side by side with the philosophical, universal and logical.
