Description
Calypso by Oliver K. Langmead is an ambitious and immersive epic verse novel that explores the human condition in a new Eden. Set in a post-cryostasis world, the story follows Rochelle as she awakens to find herself on a transformed colony ship, where she must navigate a complex web of power and legacy. As Rochelle travels the ship with its enigmatic creator, Sigmund, and a bioengineered marvel named Catherine, she uncovers a hidden history of humanity forged in the darkness of space. A war between botanists and engineers has shaped the course of human evolution, and Rochelle finds herself at the heart of this conflict. With its unique blend of poetry and science fiction, Calypso is a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be human in a world that is both familiar and alien.
