An Undeniable Philosophical Proposal" had 10 editions in the first five years following its publication, and it has been claimed that the book "has succeeded in reaching a wide audience with its fluent and cheerful language". , The first book of the "Naturans triology" was published in 2020 with the title "Naturans I: Towards a New Ontology".
