What if the Dharma Initiative is experimenting on us?

When Flight 815 crashes on a remote tropical island, it lands in a philosophical quagmire.  Survivors band together to guard against surreal dangers, but who will guard the guardians?  Thrust into a state of nature, our scantily-clad and well-tanned heroes learn that they were lost long before the crash.  It’s no accident that characters named Locke, Rousseau, and Hume appear on the show.  Sometimes it feels like you need a Ph.D. to follow this hit show. But you don’t—you just need this book!  Desmond may not be able to save Charlie, but this book could save you.
