The God Gene - E-book - ePub

It's an Age of Abundance. No longer do humans struggle to meet their basic needs. Arguably, they live better than kings of old. But despite this, it's the intelligence explosion that steals the limelight; technological innovations come so rapidly that they create a backlash. The risks to the new world order are just too great. And now there's talk of both a nano man-comprised of a shape-shifting swarm of nanites-and a human with the god gene. Even with a planetary ubermind to keep things under control, fears are that one or another of them will be able to hack the ubermind.
Have they done so already? And if so, how long before they settle their score with one another to prove who's top dog before they come after the entire human race? For one woman and the two men that love her, these concerns are more than simply academic. You see, one of the three carries the god gene. Pick up a copy now to see if the very thing that truly makes us stronger-our relationships-survives the latest onslaught of a technology that hits like a tsunami wave. NOTE: CONCEIVED IN THE SPIRIT OF IAIN M.
