Amygdala Hijack - A Genetic Engineering Sci-Fi Novel of Impending Dystopia
Publisher Description
A golden obelisk crash-lands on a Saskatchewan farm and warns of an impending alien invasion. Searching for silver linings, science podcaster Peter Scott and his small team are elated at this event and hope the new existential threat might improve their sagging ratings. They capitalize on growing fears of invasion by interviewing experts with unorthodox solutions to defend Earth.
But 2037 is no ordinary year. DNA is just another programming language, and CRISPR-centric, body-altering tech is now a plaything for the masses. Humans are hybridizing at breakneck speed, sporting subdermal chips, animal traits, and flesh-metal integrations. While this radical new tech spins off the rails, society convulses violently as biases and hatreds escalate between humans and hybrids.
Conservatives vs. Progressives; Majorities vs. Minorities; Humans vs. Hybrids, and now Humanity vs. Aliens...where will it all end?
Yet alien marauders and social disruptions aren't the only challenges. Shadowy forces are threatening to kill the podcast – or the team. Is there any hope of escaping their dire predicament?
5 Stars***** Imminent Future, or Imminent Extinction? A fascinating leap into the imminent future...when Genetic Engineering and Genetic Modification have advanced astronomically (Goodreads Reviews).
