A bold new edition of Jimbo’s Assumption is coming soon.
Part philosophical odyssey, part sci-fi adventure, 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.
Set against the atmospheric backdrop of Edinburgh and the vast reach of the Milky Way, the novel invites readers on a journey across time, space, scientific discovery, and human possibility. From Dolly the Sheep to the mysteries of consciousness, Richard N Philip blends humour, reason, wonder, and imagination to explore how intelligence evolves, in individuals, in civilisation, and perhaps beyond Earth itself.
Now reimagined for a wider audience, this upcoming edition brings new energy to Jimbo’s story while preserving the curiosity and ambition at its heart. With fresh artwork, added material, and a sharper focus on the questions that matter most, the new edition offers returning readers and first-time visitors a renewed invitation into Jimbo’s world.
At its core, Jimbo’s Assumption asks what it really means to evolve: intellectually, spiritually, scientifically, and as a species. It is a story about curiosity, connection, discovery, and the possibility that humanity’s greatest assumptions may only be the beginning.
Coming soon. Stay curious.
