Beschrijving
As humanity faces the urgency of climate crisis, it is hubris versus hope when Kate Larkin joins a secret project to save the world by resurrecting a ghost species, the Neanderthals. But when the child Eve is born, Kate's role as scientist, and mother, forces her to ask what really makes us, and Eve, human?
Ghost Species
is a
perceptive
and
timely
tale about what it really means to take care of the Earth... spelling out, rather didactically, where ordinary folk will fit in the future that Elon Musk and Bill Gates built.
Ghost Species
is
absorbing, sensitively written
and
full of heart
.
A landmark novel
in today's environmentally ravaged world.
Ghost Species is a quietly devastating and immensely affecting novel.
Can't stop thinking about it. Touching.
