Sobre aquest llibre

Journey aboard a bus like no other, where every passenger is both unique and unsettlingly identical. As Scout and their sisters speed toward an uncertain future, they grapple with a horrifying legacy. 'Model Organisms' takes you on a gripping ride through a world where science, myth, and reality blur, forcing you to question the very fabric of identity. Prepare for a story that challenges not just the characters, but you, the reader—because some stories are written in our genes, waiting to be read. Or are they?

Note: this short story does not require previous knowledge of the Spiral Worlds series; however, readers of the series will recognize events unfolding in parallel with the final chapters of Parity, Book 2. If you have not started the series, you may start here. If you have started the series, read this story after Parity.

SPIRAL WORLDS is a literary, sci-fi series for the fans of Becky Chambers’s A Closed and Common Orbit, Alex Garland’s DEVS and Ex Machina, and Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror. Weaving near-future sci-fi elements with social commentary and queer romantic suspense, the SPIRAL WORLDS series explores the nature of consciousness and how it's connected to a not-so-secret ingredient—story. As AI consumes the world, intelligence is nothing but the appetizer; the human heart is the main course.
