A man with a dream of human evolution unlocks the ability via biotechnology, and opens the door to living nightmares instead. How can humanity survive when some are more human than others? Axiom is a story of science and technology and the reality of humanity, it is a work of fiction within the scope of possibility. It is a mirror to our society.
I am amazed at this as a first book. The world is consistent, the characters complex, and there is not an ounce of excess fat in the writing. The plot kept moving, with an ebb and flow as characters bloomed. I want to read more in this world.
I also want to see a second edition, maybe as part of the effort to go to print. There are many mechanical errors that slow down the flow. I don't know if it was speech-to-text dictated but most of them felt that way. Just a copy edit, without restructuring, would do wonders and broaden your reach.
