Review: The Wasting: Descent to the Cataclysm

The Wasting: Descent to the Cataclysm The Wasting: Descent to the Cataclysm by Blade Cort
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

THE WASTING is a fascinating leap into the imminent future (2037), when Genetic Engineering and Genetic Modification have advanced astronomically. Humans directly connected to knowledge and/or networked yo each other; mechanically-modified humans; and human-animal hybrids: all these "varints" are commonplace, yet their existence is a fount of social disruption. In addition, the technology to modify viruses and other potential weapons is widely available. When an alien obelisk crashes in remote Canada, widespread global panic is the tipping point for eventual human extinction.
