He wrote pulp fiction. He bombed empty oceans. He claimed to heal trauma, cure disease, and remember every life he’d ever lived. Then he started a religion. L. Ron Hubbard: The Man Who Built the Bridge is the story of the writer who became a prophet, not by accident, but by design. From Dianetics to the Sea Org and cosmic origin stories to billion-year contracts, this is a breakdown of the system he created, the lies that held it together, and the myth he buried himself inside.
