Product Description

Product Description

As the Prime Renegade plans the disabling of automatic systems that support the dwindling human population, she seeks a man to love and to father her child. The usual route of artificial insemination appeals to her about as much as the materialistic and hedonistic philosophy that now drives most people. And, secretly, forces designed to serve mankind develop a sense of superiority that might threaten human survival.
This science fiction novelette, running to around 26,000 words, is set on Earth some few hundred years in the future. Much has happened to change the planet with which we are familiar, but human beings remain pretty much the mixed-up and flawed creatures we have always been.

I'm glad I read to the end 20 Feb 2012
By Sarah Baethge - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Methuselah Strain by Stewart Aken is a story with a frightening view of the future world. After a devastating asteroid shower the population has grown so small that a normal person can go for years without coming into view of another human face. This is not as lonely as it may sound, because technology has so advanced that through computer programs and with the aid of robots, virtually any act is possible.

In fact, people no longer bother to even reproduce, because anyone still alive has been genetically altered so that any ageing has been virtually stopped. This is why when a technical wizard decides that she would enjoy a more natural life, she instigates unspeakable actions through through that same technology she once served. How better to get others to agree with her beliefs?
