On the Orbiters, supercomputers riding beyond the edge of Earth's atmosphere, these Eternals live out their wildest dreams or build fantastic idylls, free at last from the tyranny of Evolution. But back on Earth, the man known to history simply as the Missing Link — the product of a brutal but successful experiment to capture a human mind and synthesize it into ultra-human form — is dragged back into the turbulent currents of the history he has tried so hard to forget. Something is rotten in paradise, and Evolution is not quite done with humanity yet. https://www.jameshiderauthor.com/coauthor daily 0.75 2022-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62226400a9e6c5319f9b2dff/b134ebe1-9f29-4a4a-bc07-dcec086d677a/HiderTurkelAudioJkt.jpeg Books - No Escape by Nury Turkel A powerful memoir by Nury Turkel lays bare China’s repression of the Uyghur people.
