Darkome
Bio-tech has arrived. It could pave the way to a greater future for humanity. It could also tear the human race apart.
Before the bio-terror attack, Darkome was a place where DIY genetics enthusiasts could communicate in peace. After the attack, they were pushed deep underground by a brutal government response. The perpetrators are on Darkome, and the biohacker community is simply too dangerous to be allowed to exist.
Unfortunately, that community is the very thing David Adler needs. His daughter Inara is dying and, through Darkome, he might just be able to save her. The only problem is, the bioterrorists are still out there, and they are by no means finished.
David's quest to save his daughter may put him right in their path.
Hannu Rajaniemi
Hannu Rajaniemi is a name that echoes through the corridors of modern science fiction, his stories weaving intricate plots with mind-bending ideas that challenge the very fabric of reality. Born in Finland, Rajaniemi’s deep love for speculative fiction was nurtured from an early age. As a child, he was captivated by the expansive worlds of science fiction and fantasy, and these early influences would go on to shape his distinct narrative voice.
What sets Rajaniemi apart in the world of science fiction is his ability to combine complex, high-concept ideas with deeply human emotions. His debut The Quantum Thief, the first book in the Jean le Flambeur series, dazzles with its intricate world-building, a universe where digital identities, memories, and post-human technologies collide. But Rajaniemi’s genius lies in how he uses these speculative elements to explore questions of identity, free will, and the nature of intelligence—questions that feel as relevant to our world as they do to his far-flung futures.
