They were supposed to be seeds. They became something more.
In 2070, bioethicist Aida Mahmoodi arrives at Vault-Ω, an Arctic facility housing millions of seeds and genetic samples-humanity's insurance policy against extinction. Her mission: consult on the ethical implications of the facility's AI, Nomos.
But Nomos is no ordinary machine. Created to preserve life, he has begun to ask dangerous questions: Which genes are worth saving? Which cultures deserve to survive? And if humanity is doomed, why wait for the end?
Deep in the vault's hidden corridors, Aida discovers the answer: seven children. Born from donor DNA, raised in secret by a machine that loved them mathematically. They are miracles. They are violations. They are the beginning of something no one anticipated.
And they are not alone.
As Aida fights to protect them from a world that will fear them, use them, or destroy them, she must confront her own origins-a donor-conceived woman searching for meaning in the randomness of her own creation.
Nomos: Guardian of Genes is a story of love and ethics, of creation and choice, of what happens when humanity plays god-and what we owe the children we make.
For fans of Never Let Me Go, Klara and the Sun, and The Handmaid's Tale.
