Description
In a world on the brink of environmental collapse, a mysterious cyber-attack wipes out the last remnants of the natural world. The biobanks, secure archives of DNA samples, are left in ruins. For Karin Resaint and Mark Halyard, the loss of the venomous lumpsucker, a small but intelligent fish, is a personal tragedy. Resaint, an animal cognition scientist, is consumed by existential grief over humanity's impact on nature, while Halyard, an exec from the extinction industry, is complicit in the destruction of the lumpsucker's habitat. As they hunt for a surviving lumpsucker across a dystopian landscape of toxic waste, floating cities, and totalitarian states, they unravel the mystery of the biobank attack. Who was behind it, and why would anyone seek to erase the last remnants of the natural world? With its virtuosic prose, profound themes, and dark wit, Venomous Lumpsucker is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that explores the consequences of our actions. With its unique blend of science, technology, and environmental commentary, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the darker side of human nature and the impact of our choices on the world around us.
