pick🎧 Some cool science FICTION. 😁 I love the outlandish!
What if you could genetically change your baby not to sleep & not sleeping had amazing side effects. Now imagine that your genetically enhanced embryo takes but you accidentally also get pregnant naturally with your run of the mill baby. Now there‘s a set of female twins!
The book exposes the dark sides of humanity & the genetically enhanced.
Fun read
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 (edit: autocorrect)
🎧 I love the library!
For months my hold list moved achingly slow 😫
Last week I suddenly had 11 books out on loan, several leap frogging books that had shown availability in 3 weeks for weeks.
I‘m down to 5 loans & the tagged book is a free selection from the Audible Plus catalog that‘s been on my TBR forever. 🖤
What are your favorite means of obtaining books?
I love books 🖤
When husband goes in town to buy himself a book and brings you a science fiction and fantasy magazine because 'there are only women on the cover, I thought you' d like it' :) and Nancy kress just entered my tbr yesterday :)
so-soThis took ages to finish, no thanks to...smelly pages.
I bought it from the bargain bin ages ago so the pages have yellowed. It's a 2004 edition so it's been around for a while.
I just found out that this was originally a novella and that explains why it feels like, a stretch. I loved the beginning which showed the narrative's potential but it keeps extending and extending until it never seems to end (there are 2 more books that I'm giving up).
pickOne of my most favourite Scifi reads ever for #Recommendsday!! Published in 1993. What if babies could be genetically manipulated to no longer need sleep? What sort of advantage would those sleepless babies have as adults over the regular masses that still need sleep? How would this push human evolution? I simply loved this thought provoking and stimulating book and continue to love Nancy Kress's writing!!
