Even after the world and humanity itself have been rendered nearly unrecognizable by genetic engineering, a day in the office can feel...
Sisyphean.
Will the enigmatic sad sack known only as ``the worker`` survive the day? Will the young student Hanishibe get his questions about the biological future of humanity answered, or will he have to transfer to the department of theology? Will Umari and her master ever comprehend the secrets of nanodust?.
After centuries of tinkering, many human bodies only have a casual similarity to what we now know, but both work and school continue apace.
A strange journey into the far future of genetic engineering, and working life.
A mosaic novel of extreme science and high weirdness, Sisyphean will change the way you see existence itself.
The boss there is its president--a large creature of unstable, shifting form once called ``human.`` The world of his dedicated worker contains only the deck and the sea of mud surrounding it, and and the worker\'s daily routine is anything but peaceful.
The company stands atop a tiny deck supported by huge iron columns a hundred meters high.
Even after the world and humanity itself have been rendered nearly unrecognizable by genetic engineering, a day in the office can feel...
