Author Biography

J. G. Renato is a Harvard educated author and an inventor who lives in Washington DC.

His extensive experience in the sciences of biotechnology, physics, mathematics and medicine have allowed him to write a book about the questions many of us have asked. Who are we? and where do we come from?

In this book J.G Renato takes us on a journey through the eyes of John Galt, the main character in the Ayn Rand classic, Atlas Shrugged.

We find questions and answers but also gain valuable insight into topics close to his heart. Quantum mechanics, physics, string theory and the multiverse all form part of the content but ultimately the answer is one which you must find through the pages of the book and the ideas you yourself construct.

What might John Galt have thought if he had left his followers in the valley of Colorado? Would he have continued to follow the idea that only the material mattered? Or, might he have undergone a philosophical revelation? In The Déjà Vu Experiment, J.G. Renato expounds upon this idea. The Déjà Vu Experiment is not a “story.” It is, rather, a discussion of the little anomalies in life that may lead one to look at the world in a new way. These anomalies, these “gaps,” were discovered and then examined by John Galt when he met Diana, an Iowa farm girl who encouraged his curiosity.

Renato suggests that people are so intent on their own internal realities that they fail to notice the greater world. He challenges them to “look through the veil” of their historical understanding. It is the strange little events that will wake people from their typical hypnotic approach to life, events often brought forth through art, theology, and science. Living our “mortal dreams,” we miss out on an appreciation of the eternity in which we live, an eternity without past, present, or future.

I especially appreciated the quotes Renato shared from Marianne Williamson, Albert Einstein, Jack Kerouac, the Chinese philosopher, Zhuangzi, Tolstoy, and more. Some of his ideas encouraged my thoughtful consideration and challenged my understanding. For example, Renato suggests that if we operated just as spirit, if we knew of our immortality, “it would be tough to get a rousing game of life going.” He also asks, which one is really in charge: you or your body? Offering unique ways to look at light, quantum physics, string theory, the universe existing as a single unified melody, the power of imagination, free will, the language of mathematics, death, and more, Renato successfully challenged me to consider not just “Who am I?” but “What am I?”
