Phantom Menace

Two-thirds of the way through the series starter, the Singularity reaction had already begun. Explosive technological growth beyond human comprehension caught everyone up. Now it's impossible to look out your window from day to day without feeling like a stranger in a strange land. It's air cars one day—soaring dragons the next. The vista is constantly being repainted by billions of citizen-scientists forever creating the world anew. The Singularity reaction was deemed inevitable. It hardly mattered what exactly brought it about; it was always going to be something. Roman realized new challenges would lie across the threshold separating humanity from transhumanity. But what he got was a mindless beehive that wouldn't stop humming with activity. It was like a planet-wide form of OCD. He and Elsa and the rest of the Daytona commune of biohackers, based in backwoods Oregon, don't have long to break free before they too lose their will to resist the Sirens. And the clock is ticking not just on them. The Singularity Wave pushes genetically-engineered humanoids across the cosmos in ships powered by warp drive engines. Soon the heavens will be populated with hell worlds modeled according to the same flaw in design. Can Roman and Elsa, with the aid of their comrades, tweak the Singularity Wave to restore the heaven-on-earth vibe they were striving for all along? Pick up a copy today to find out.
