Galapagos Finches (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Galapagos Finches is a science fiction novella which paints a portrait of a future in which the increase in technology spawns an increase in the prevalence of a subset of the autism spectrum (Aspies), given to extraordinary skills. As those with such skills occupy increasingly higher rungs in the society of the United States, a backlash takes place. It starts in the newly formed Humanity Church and gains government support. Those identified as "less than fully human," and those who support them, are consigned to settlements with no access to communication or technology. As the availability of technological expertise plummets, the country enters a downward spiral. Those Aspies who have escaped, find refuge in religious enclaves that resist the repression of the dominant church. From there, many find their way to specialized islands where their skills are employed to produce thriving societies, with the isolation required for further evolution.
