The second installment of the saga The Purpose of the Universe goes back eight years.
Alexander Tisdale is a brilliant and solitary geneticist. A private corporation offers him an impossible piece of research: to save humanity from the pollution disease.
To do it he shuts himself in a hermetic biosphere with other fellow geneticists and with a woman, Isabella Thompson, as beautiful as she is hard to decipher.
Alexander's tangled and tortuous search leads him to create Homo syntheticus who live forever. The number of people interested in transforming voluntarily to live forever begins to multiply. When Alexander realizes that this discovery may cause the definitive extinction of the Homo sapiens, he faces the paradox of fighting against his own creation. But the process seems unstoppable: behind the glass walls of the biosphere he has created the next link of the evolution that will succeed us.
This installment plays with philosophical and ethical dilemmas, such as: Can the solution be worse than the disease? Where does the essence of the Homo sapiens lie? Should science advance without limits, or are there frontiers that should not be crossed?
