Description
Under the Eye of the Big Bird In a distant future, humanity teeters on the brink of extinction, with small tribes scattered across the planet under the watchful care of the Mothers. The survival of the species hangs in the balance, as the interbreeding of humans with alien beings - from rabbits and dolphins to those created in factories from cells of these creatures - raises questions about the persistence of connection, love, and evolution. As the ages unfold, this novel presents a haunting vision of a world where our species is on the verge of collapse. Yet, it is also a meditation on the qualities that make us human, in all their complexity and fragility. This thought-provoking work invites readers to contemplate the uncertain future of our species and the enduring nature of our humanity. Pages: 288
