AUTHOR’S NOTE: I wrote Măjitópiă, this science-fiction novel, because I am fearful for the state of the world, terrified of the climatic damage we have caused the earth. I often wonder if there is any way for mankind to escape extinction. And if so, what is the solution?
Măjitópiă
The planetary clock had been reset. Biological annihilation had been evident for decades. Climate change was at an all time high causing an explosion of disasters for humanity. Every living and breathing species was suffering. Food supples were scarce. Water sources were drying up. Volcanoes erupted. Wildfires devastated forests and towns. Earthquakes toppled cities. Tsunamis drowned the land and its people. The world was well into the sixth mass extinction and terrestrials were on the brink of survival.
With the planet nearing critical climate thresholds, the surface had become too hot, species were dying out and the risk of human extinction appeared to be inevitable. This was not routine indigestion and all too few realized that the earth was deep into the sixth mass extinction. The earth was a dying planet and on a crash course to destruction. The tree of life was moribund. For years climatologists battled with corporations to stop the madness – their voices drowned out by conglomerates.
Scientists around the world had been secretly working to create a perfect being – a creature that could survive in the worst of climatic disasters – a superior human species, a mortal that could live in the sea and on land. If measured correctly, this dominant species might possibly escape extinction. But no one had the technology and cross breeding was prohibited – if everyone was sticking to that rule. But was it too late and was it even possible?
Then chaos struck.
