Turanga

The year: 2058. The substance: Turanga, a peculiar pill that gives people the power to read minds. One lone scientist working to unlock the drug's secrets becomes involved in a fight to save the human race from aliens and their collaborators on Earth. His search for the drug's origin and purpose takes him from the hills of western Africa to the plains of Arizona, and as he gradually becomes conscious of a conspiracy to prepare the world for alien colonization, he must grapple with the far-reaching implications of mind-reading.
