Editing the Soul
Personal genome testing, gene editing for life-threatening diseases, synthetic life: once the stuff of science fiction, twentieth- and twenty-first-century advancements blur the lines between scientific narrative and scientific fact. This examination of bioengineering in popular and literary culture shows that the influence of science on science fiction is more reciprocal than we might expect. Looking closely at the work of Margaret Atwood, Richard Powers, and other authors, as well as at film, comics, and serial television such as Orphan Black, Everett Hamner shows how the genome age is transforming both the most commercial and the most sophisticated stories we tell about the core of human personhood. As sublime technologies garner public awareness beyond the genre fiction shelves, they inspire new literary categories like “slipstream” and shape new definitions of the human, the animal, the natural, and the artificial. In turn, what we learn of bioengineering via popular and literary culture prepares the way for its official adoption or restriction—and for additional representations. By imagining the connections between emergent gene testing and editing capacities and long-standing conversations about freedom and determinism, these stories help build a cultural zeitgeist with a sharper, more balanced vision of predisposed agency. A compelling exploration of the interrelationships among science, popular culture, and self, Editing the Soul sheds vital light on what the genome age means to us, and what’s to come.
Regenesis
There is no place on Earth where endangered animal species can be really safe--but Agent Rahel Tovin is determined that places will be found. Her organization is called Noah's Ark, and her missions will take her on a remarkable odyssey around the galaxy, as she tries to find a home-world for every animal that needs one.
Yes, We're Time Travelers
A former Navy SEAL instructor and NAU physics professor, Dr. Henry Spere, hacked a Munich research lab's file right before its destruction. Months later, he wins a court challenge to his inheritance money from an unknown heir. That event is his call to develop the technology in those secret files. The Rinklers introduce him to Rex Tavendor, who becomes the Professor's assistant. The Rinklers do the upkeep on the farm property while the inventors work on their storage container time machine. The Professor's military mindset makes him astute at staying under the radar of bureaucrats and corporate oligarchies when purchasing electronic hardware and supplies. The team must hurry to "get out of Dodge" before elitists haul off their technology in a dreaded Waco-style raid.
