When Platinum Rusts: Outside the Script (Biopunk Dystopian Fantasy)

How far would you go to preserve what little of humanity remains—before you stop recognising it?

Doctor Selest Dvali is running out of time, resources, and moral excuses.
On the ruins of a failed colonisation project, she attempts the unthinkable: to engineer a new kind of human strong enough to survive the end of civilisation—without knowing what that survival will cost.

But the deeper she goes, the more the lines blur. Ethics erode. Mistakes multiply. And every failure leaves a permanent scar.

Among towering forests and half-living machines, Selest’s experiment becomes Eternum’s last fragile hope—and its greatest risk.

This novel stands fully on its own, uncovering a buried legacy that later generations will try—and fail—to understand.

A quiet, unsettling dystopia about love, responsibility, and the lies we tell ourselves when survival is at stake.

Perfect for readers who enjoy morally complex science fiction and slow-burn biopunk—atmospheric, character-driven, and unsettling, without the nihilism.
