biology dna dystopian futuristic genetic-engineering genetics journal post-apocalyptic research scifi

After the fall of the Dyson Field, the world was never the same. The splicers broke free and roamed the Earth, and the Sols made sure people stayed within the boundaries of their cities. But now, more than 150 years after the collapse, a single scientist tries to investigate the ecology and secrets behind the foundations of the new world... and how to destroy them.

This is the prologue/introduction to my series Innaturalis, which I'm in the process of writing. It's good to read this before starting that, and it should only take half an hour or so to get through :).

(D)Evolved Book 1 - Fantasy by GreatUncleTobermory

A phenomenon born of suppression, the awakening of long-dormant evolutionary powers ripped through the population like wildfire, sowing fear and confusion wherever it was realised. Most people faced the oncoming wave of rapid evolutionary change and simply withered in its path. Seeking refuge from a society that intruded on every semblance of solace an exodus from the great metropolis began, forever unbalancing the status quo as civilisation buckled under its own weight. As cities were abandoned in pursuit of pastoral life, heroes emerged to stand tall in the face of impending dark ages. Armed with their newfound powers, they became the bedrock of emerging communes, fragile refuges and repositories of art, culture and science- hoping to bridge the void into a new age. Yet to a select, special few they were all but playthings. Able to master every aspect of these powers this special few were gods in a devolved world, bending and shaping their abilities to their will be it through scientific pursuit, fantastical vision of megalomaniacal ambition. Dark motivations emerge, ambitions collide, and tools are unleashed as the battle lines are drawn. A race against time begins, with the very fate of humankind in play.

2145 (Pilot) by TheHighwayDreamer01

100 years into the future, biology has given way to a new humanoid race, the Supernaturals. However, survival for them isn't easy in a world where they are criminalized and oppressed. It's survival of the fittest, or rather, the smartest and most successful. And with a criminal underworld full of illegal Supernatural activity, things are bound to spiral out eventually. (This series has had a rocky start. I've rewritten it hundreds of times over and have finally found something to roll with. I'm happy with how the Pilot turned out and am excited to finally introduce this series. GLR is still in progress, don't worry, this is just one of my side-hustles.)

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

If the handsome monster follows through with his promise, I could be putting possibly the only group of human survivors left in jeopardy. But most dangerous of all? I might fall in love with the last person I'm supposed to. ... Similar books include: the Host, the 5th Wave, and the Hunger Games. If you enjoy clean, slowburn romance and constant suspense, this book is for you! Chapters will be released on a regular basis, so stay tuned!
