All species go extinct. Our time has come. Astrobiologist Nisha Chandra’s discovery of life on Mars is only the beginning. The sophisticated life form she unearths next forces her daughter, Priya, into the center of the most significant change in the human genome in a million years—a genetic leap that offers a future for the planet, but ensures the self-chosen extinction of the human species within three centuries. In nature, every extinction is an opportunity. This is the story of ours. This is a completed work of 100 chapters and 1062 pages. AI was NOT used to write this. All 100 chapters are now release, plus discussion topics and the science supportin the story.
