Greg Bear: Darwin's Radio & Darwin's Children

Science fiction om evolusjon: Darwin's radio - en missing-link thriller.

"The discovery of a mass grave of mutated villagers in the Caucasus; a mummified prehistoric family revealed by ice-thaw high in the Alps; a mysterious new disease that strikes only pregnant women, resulting in miscarriage - three disparate facts that will converge into one science-shattering truth. So-called junk genes that have slept in our DNA for millions of years are waking up; the women who miscarry become spontaneously pregnant again without sexual activity. The new babies are not normal . . . Governments enact emergency measures . . .

Darwin's Children - Evolution is no longer just a theory, it's an urgent and dangerous fact. Human society is about to get a complete makeover. A new kind of humanity is growing up. Some call them the Virus Children. They are special children, equipped with significant natural upgrades that allow them to communicate and socialize in ways we can hardly imagine, or resist. Charming, gentle, persuasive, beautiful... in them can be seen a future that may make all of human history until now seem clumsy and brutal . . . Through an evolutionary event called SHEVA, they carry ancient viruses that could cause our extinction . .
