As indeed there is.

It is a play-format book using Wilhelm Reich as a fictionalized
protagonist to make Wilson's points about how establishment
science is no more open-minded than religion.

How accurate these points are is not something I care to debate
here.

It is by no means a "new" book.  R.A.Wilson was quite prolific beyond
his novels.  I have some 10 or more of his books printed on small presses
ranging from _Sex & Drugs_ to _Wilhelm Reich in Hell_ to _Isis Rising_.

Wilson skirts the edge of skepticism and occultism equally; his work
is generally quite interesting, no matter what your belief in these
matters is.
