Cthonia - Prologue

It is the year 2045 and 14 billion people walk the earth.  Many of them are no longer entirely human…

The Transits worship technology as the means of achieving human enhancement. 

The Bios live in Nature Reserves and regard the Transits as nothing more than computers made of meat. 

Primo Foglet, Head Nanotechnician at the Ministry of Transhumanity, is in love.  At least...that's what his therapist keeps calling it.

As Primo works on the controversial Awakening Program he begins to reflect on the indisputable fact that life has been getting very weird lately.  For decades, the Transits have been becoming more powerful, with almost daily advancements in technology, but now these advancements have slowed to a trickle.  Technology has reached critical mass – or has it?  There are rumours that the Bios are on the move.  And…as for love…wasn’t that supposed to have been overcome by now?
