Bridging Science, Speculation, and the Supernormal: Two Thought-Provoking Titles Captivate Readers at Veritas Ink & Press Booth, MIBF 2025

Amid a vibrant sea of books and enthusiastic crowds at the Manila International Book Fair 2025, two titles stood out for those curious about where science meets the unknown: “The Paraphysical Principles of Natural Philosophy” and “Evo: The Next Step,” both by James E. Beichler. Displayed at the Veritas Ink & Press booth, these books drew a steady stream of readers—academics, speculative fiction fans, philosophy enthusiasts, and seekers alike—each eager to explore the boundaries of what we know and what we imagine.

The Paraphysical Principles of Natural Philosophy
A rigorous dive into phenomena beyond everyday physics, this work seeks to define, explore, and give historical context to paraphysics—natural but non-normal phenomena often dismissed by mainstream science. Dr. Beichler argues for a legitimate science of the anomalous, drawing connections between consciousness, psi phenomena, and physical reality. He traces its roots back through the 19th century, clarifies terminology, outlines what counts as “normal” vs “non-normal” phenomena, and presents a framework that challenges readers to reconsider the fringe as perhaps closer to the core than previously thought.

At the fair, this book became a magnet for those with an interest in physics, metaphysics, or the unexplained—some purchasing copies to study, others browsing through it to see how it connects ideas they’ve wondered about. The pages provoked questions: “What is consciousness? What lies beyond the measurable? Can the paranormal become part of a unified theory?”

EVO: The Next Step
In contrast, “Evo: The Next Step” projects into a future shaped by evolution, governance, and the tension between scientific progress and societal control. Set in 2040, the novel imagines a world where scientific inquiry is regulated by world governments, where “vertical science” limits what can be discovered, and where innovation and freedom are under threat. At its heart is a mentor-protégé relationship between a wise Professor and Eve, a young woman hiding secrets, whose journey becomes one of resisting authority, reclaiming curiosity, and imagining a different future.

Fully engrossing for fans of speculative fiction, it drew in readers at the booth who appreciated its philosophical backbone, its cautionary themes about control, and its hopeful insistence that the human spirit, at times, must challenge accepted limits.

Why These Books Struck a Chord

• Intellectual Adventure: Both books push beyond the familiar—whether it’s expanding our understanding of natural laws or envisioning possible futures.
  
• Relevance for Today: In a world increasingly concerned with the limits of science, ethics of technology, and what counts as “real,” these works are not escapism—they’re invitations to think, question, and debate.
  
• Crossing Boundaries: They appeal to people who read across genres—science, philosophy, speculative fiction, spirituality—bringing together readers who are often siloed.
  

An Invitation to Explore

At MIBF 2025, these books weren’t just displayed—they ignited curiosity. For anyone who believes that independent thinking matters and that questions are sometimes more valuable than answers, James E. Beichler’s works are essential reads.
