Rusty is an East Village reprobate reminiscent of Dostoevsky's Raskolnikov. When he steps into a portal-the sandwich board outside his favorite Mexican restaurant-he discovers a multiverse inhabited by endless iterations of himself. Rusty "worms" himself into varied worlds, including King Arthur's court and even the Big Bang, as he struggles with seeking redemption or sinking deeper into his own degradation. Nietzsche's "Doctrine of Eternal Recurrence" and "The Infinite Monkey Theorem" both drive the narrative.

The Wormhole Society puts the American obsession with resurrection and salvation under the microscope. Medical charlatans offer cure-alls for erectile dysfunction and a host of other ailments with plans that produce credit card-style rewards points. Hucksters with biblical stories of revelation and reform populate the twelve-step program to which the novel's title alludes.

The Wormhole Society is a satiric examination of both time travel and the fantasies of utopia that infuse science fiction literature.
