Description
Description: The fascinating hard science of the human genome is interlaced with questions of humanity, spirituality, ethics and the bonds of love in a fast-paced, groundbreaking new graphic novel. Legend of Sumeria – Life ▪ Blood ▪ DNA by Jay Webb and Biju Parekkadan, PhD [March 20, 2018, Dream Novels] grapples with belief, science, and fiction in a beautifully-rendered future not so distant from a present where these very issues are debated daily.
The machinations of a powerful biotech company which launches SEQ, the first social network to integrate genetics into the fabric of society and e-commerce, begin our story and draw the reader into a complicated web of human drama and scientific intrigue. “It’s not just the next internet, it’s life by your own code,” reads one SEQ tag line.
An unethical experiment activates a “cancer” gene altering human evolution forever. It may be more than just human evolution that’s in danger when Tessa Jones, the first human engineered with the ability to breathe without oxygen, shepherds a space expedition that encounters a fascinating tribe of extraterrestrial “silverbacks” that lead a nomadic, subsistent life contrary to human society.
