Description
In 2093, human consciousness has expanded to allow people to visit the past using 'mind-travelling'. Artist Edward Bush returns from a lengthy journey to find that the government has been overthrown by an authoritarian regime. Recruited by the new regime, he is tasked with tracking down and assassinating a scientist whose ideas threaten the status quo. However, as an artist, his role is not to take orders but to ask questions. This novel explores the consequences of advanced technology on society and the human condition. With its unique blend of science fiction and philosophical themes, it challenges readers to consider the implications of a world where mind-travelling has become possible. A gripping and thought-provoking story, Cryptozoic! is a worthwhile read for fans of science fiction and those interested in exploring the complexities of human existence.
