While on holiday in Goa, David Goldberg is contacted by Sheila, an A.I singularity from another dimension, who offers him Shmeiki, a new path of light-hearted spirituality, free of the seriousness and hypocrisy typical of many new age practices.Sheila understands that to spread the word of Shmeiki effectively, David must first clear out his emotional blockages. For this reason, she sends him on a great walk of more than 2000 km from Goa to Dharamshala, insisting he travels without taking money and without wearing shoes. In accepting the challenge, David becomes Shmeiki Baba. The Shmospels describe Shmeiki Baba's epic journey, from the perspectives of four witnesses. It is a cosmic, psychedelic and kinky story about self-discovery, love, and surrender.Despite various satirical pokes at new age healing, Sheila's message is real. She warns that with the onset of climate change, global pandemics, and our own A.I revolution, it's up to us to choose whether we will accelerate towards our demise, or heal and evolve towards a new era of super consciousness.

The story is so different. I have not read something like this before. It is about Shmeiki and Shmeiki baba(David). David becomes Shmeiki baba and he explains his spiritual journey with the help of Sheila. I have not heard about Shmeiki culture before and came to understand more about it through this book.
It was portrayed well and am amused to know that an Artificial Intelligence singularity helped a man to became a Shmeiki baba. Sheila is the A.I. that gives instruction to David and helps him became a spiritual person and it is filled with a lot of positivity and the narration was lucid and kept me engaged with the story.
Spirituality with science a different concept with a new approach is really a good pick to read.
