Synopsis

The future of mankind is a proposition that none of us can escape. We are the ones who destroy the world, and we are also the ones who protect the world. In the 1970s, an American think tank proposed the "Heisman Report", which listed five possibilities for human extinction. In addition to nuclear war, super viruses, asteroid impacts, and the reversal of the earth's magnetic field, there is also the emergence of a new species with intelligence superior to humans. Now new species have actually appeared. After learning the news, the U. S. Government dispatched a special forces team to Africa to implement a hunting plan code-named "Nemesis." Unexpectedly, the human attack provoked a strong counterattack from the other side, and the battle between the new species and human beings was about to break out. For a long time, human beings, who thought they could dominate everything like God, finally encountered an opponent who could destroy themselves. Faced with this life-and-death crisis, what chance does humanity have of winning?

Reader comments

Taking "evolved new human beings" as the entry point for the science fiction nature of this book, compared with mainstream grand-scenario planet or interstellar science fiction works, it is still a bit different, giving people a special perspective and point of view. Like most excellent science fiction works, under the guise of science fiction, this book is also full of thoughts and expectations about human nature, society, and human civilization. Judging from my limited experience and knowledge, how can we reduce selfishness and greed and create a society and civilization full of wisdom and vitality, truth, goodness and beauty, is an extremely profound and important proposition. I give this book 9 points, partly for the unique perspective, partly for the "hardness" in the professional field and the smoothness and splendor of the plot and writing, and partly for the reflection on the evil of human nature and the expectation of the beauty of human nature under the cloak of science fiction. In short, this is a very excellent work and worth reading.

The portrayal of human nature is meticulous, and the grasp of professional knowledge is also just right! The writing style is so immersive! Excellent work. Still unfinished!
