PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
LIBRARY JOURNAL (STARRED) -- What if our junk DNA held a code that could unlock something never before seen? Trillionaire businessman Gregory Hopkins is on the brink of such a discovery, one that will change humanity permanently. Through the assistance of geneticist Dr. Vander, he's found a way to build a sentient entity using the rare R-code existing in a mere 666 people on the planet. While the costs are high and the end result not without consequences, no obstacle will prevent Gregory from harvesting this newly discovered data. Taking readers on a thought-provoking journey through the mind of a genius with a Messiah complex willing to commit genocide for the sake of science, Hawkins (Warframe) pairs a thrilling and intelligent story with the beautiful, intense detail of Ienco's (Mechanism) illustrations, making the horrors of this new reality vividly real. VERDICT Introducing concepts that feel hauntingly genuine and have the potential to actualize, this first volume in a new series leaves readers eager for more. Highly recommended for anyone interested in science, the future, and the future of both.
