cloning dystopian environment ethical futuristic genetic-engineering human-impact science sciencefiction sciene

The Architects of New Eden invites readers into a futuristic world where humanity's last hope for reclaiming its lost natural heritage lies within the walls of a state-of-the-art bio-dome. This sanctuary, a modern-day Eden, is designed to preserve and revive species long vanished from the earth.

Ava, a young and idealistic geneticist, takes center stage in this daring narrative. Tasked with the monumental responsibility of cloning extinct species, she begins her journey with high hopes and a clear mission. But as she delves deeper into the science of resurrection, she forms an unexpected bond with Echo, a cloned dodo bird that becomes a symbol of her growing doubts about the role of humans in nature's design.

As Ava navigates the complex moral landscape of her work, anomalies begin to surface, revealing that cloning can bring unforeseen consequences. The story escalates when a symposium challenges her views, pushing her to confront the scientific community's skepticism and the ethical implications of her actions.

Faced with genetic anomalies and the breach of a predatory clone, Ava's ethical crisis deepens. She must make tough decisions about the future of her projects, weighing the benefits of scientific advancement against the risks of ecological disruption. The climax of the story sees Ava advocating for a shift from resurrection to conservation, arguing for the protection of existing ecosystems over the artificial recreation of lost species.

The Architects of New Eden is a poignant exploration of the interplay between creation and conservation, ethics and responsibility, and the delicate balance of life itself. This story challenges us to consider whether humanity can-and should-attempt to play God with the tools of modern science.All Rights Reserved

Snow by jule009

After an apocalyptic event that thrusts the world into a new ice age, Calestia - a 17-year-old girl with a strong will - must learn to survive on a land infested with gangs, guns, and distrust. ***** Nobody knows what day it is anymore. Nobody knows the month, the day of the week...and the only way to tell time is by the slight change in the color of the sky from grey to black every twenty-four hours. If a day even is twenty-four hours anymore. The planet is dead. The people are dead. Snow falls down upon piles of bodies like the ash of a volcanic eruption. Except, the snow doesn't stop. It never does. It continues to fall and fall until you wonder if it is even possible for another flake to come down and land silently in your hair. But it does. They do. There are few survivors of what the remaining have started to call the end of the world. The Apocalypse. Few who are still brave or scared of death enough to face the torture that is living. I am one of those survivors. Book One of the Snow Series Highest ranking: #3 in Sci-Fi Watty's Shortlisted

New Birds by maryjanice2

The worst is over. Social order is on the rise, a new food is feeding all registered families, cloning is outlawed, and the bigger biotech companies are making early strives in reintroducing lost species. Tilly and Louis, the stewards of a remote, old growth forest, want to keep this new world out. Their responsibility is only to their trees and beloved birds. But with a dwindling trust fund and mounting pressure to lease their land to Anson Genetics, they're faced with a difficult decision. The situation worsens when two human clones, from a defunct project, arrive at their gate. Now, they must decide to protect the last of the old or the first of the new. (warnings: violence, occasionally cursing.)
