This unforgettable coming-of-age memoir offers a history of early holography and chronicles a young screenwriters quest to expand the way we experience movies through the incredible illuminating medium.

"Linda Lane is a true original. She recognized the value of the hologram and introduced hundreds of her friends to the phenomenon. I was an early convert and introduced Nic Roeg, director of the movie, The Man Who Fell To Earth and he was inspired to put a hologram in the film. This was back in 1976. I wish I knew where that David Bowie hologram wound up. History in the making." - Candy Clark
"Linda Lane was one of the most original people I met in the late 1960s. She was slightly ahead of her time creating a story using holography. I knew little about the subject. When I finished reading her script I knew it was special and so was she." - Rona Barrett
"1972 to 1975 was a seminal period for holography. We are fortunate that Linda Lane documented it so thoroughly." - Ana Marie Nicholson, artist and founder, The Center for the Holographic Arts
"Holographic artists would gather late at night and in the early mornings to avoid vibrations from the everyday world. Working in their hand-crafted laboratories they taught themselves how to create art with leading edge technology." - Charles Lysogorski, artists, holographic pioneer
