Jimbo’s Assumption:
The New Edition Is Here
Part philosophical excursion, part sci-fi odyssey, Jimbo’s Assumption follows Jimbo, an unassuming student whose ordinary life is transformed by an extraordinary encounter with a galactic Intelligence and its curious envoy, 221.
The new edition brings fresh artwork, refined material, and a sharper focus on the questions that matter most: how intelligence evolves in individuals, in civilisation, and perhaps beyond Earth itself.
