Transcending Reality is entitled such because the main characters each need to find their truth and in a comical yet informing manner they help one another achieve such status.
Skyler White is an avatar-like being from old world definitions. He has insight into humanity uncanny in its nature and John, the real-world man who is a crude person and works long hours in frustration as truck driver delivering bread. He is down and close to out yet Skyler somehow knows this and chooses to contact the slowly dying soul to introduce new perspectives and alternative ways to see and live.
This enjoining of new perception into John comes with friction of course, and makes for a book with delightful and original dialogue as the scholar debates with the blue collar.
In the end, everyone learns, including Skyler who has been way too out of touch with humanity as the reader who absorbs information of varying levels and is educated in an entertaining fashion.
