Synopsis

Icecap melts killed half the world. AIs and enhanced humans threaten the rest. Will the twins triumph in a global quest to save humanity or die trying?

“Great Dieback to Singularity” is a critically-acclaimed hard science fiction epic set in 2068 when a global warming catastrophe sealed half of the human population’s fate. This outcome was predicted years before. Yet, it still caught most by surprise.

This novel follows the lives of the twin sisters Addison and Ainsley Cameron – both prodigies in the fields of cybernetics and bioengineering, on the verge of pivotal advances in the creation of AIs and enhanced humans – as they attempt to put the world back together with scarce resources and even more scarce allies.

What they find shakes them to their core. The world they once knew is unrecognizable — reduced to worthless rubble and ceaseless power struggles caused by devastating storms, volcanic eruptions, nuclear strikes, and a fearsome Sino-Russian war.

For the first time in a long time, the hope they had held on to for so long wavers. Are they in over their heads? Is the world beyond salvaging? Will their quest be for naught?

If you enjoyed Kim Stanley Robinson’s “The Ministry for the Future” or Kazuo Ishiguro’s “Klara and the Sun”, then you’ll definitely be mesmerized by Daniel R Scott’s “Great Dieback to Singularity”.

This critically-acclaimed science fiction epic has effectively used the future to illuminate and discuss issues in our present-day society. The book comprises several profound and unexpected twists, making it all the more an engaging and alluring read for any thoughtful and imaginative adult.

About this title

Review

"A top recommendation for fans of hard science fiction" 
"These introductory features could put off readers unused to hard sci-fi who merely seek an action-packed apocalyptic survival story; but those who persevere will be simply delighted by Daniel R. Scott's approach to creating solid foundations in science and futuristic history before delving into the characters and dilemmas posed by surviving this strange new world."
"While Great Dieback to Singularity will reach sci-fi readers of apocalyptic scenarios,it's a special recommendation and delight for hard sci-fi fans who receive too few in-depth focuses on technological challenges in modern genre reads. This audience will find Great Dieback to Singularity outstanding in its premises and depiction of a humanity posed on the edge of reinventing itself (or, being reinvented by its own creations)."
- D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
