Intelligence Without Thumbs

It's a Battle of the Genomes!

In a world ravaged by warfare, humanity stands on the brink of an evolutionary precipice. Enter a future where DNA is not just the blueprint of life but the architect of our survival. Michael Schulze's Intelligence Without Thumbs is a gripping exploration of the fragile lines between human and animal, science and morality, innocence and corruption.

In this part sci/fi fable, part species-bending coming-of-age story, a movement called Posthumanism has emerged, arguing that DNA's experiment with opposable thumbs has gone catastrophically wrong and that humans need to quickly evolve into a new life form that can do less harm to the planet and its inhabitants. This has incited the launch of a Prohumanist opposition, and the two groups frequently battle in the streets. Now the violence is about to escalate – a lot. In the midst of this contentious climate, a beautiful young changeling named Hasso literally washes up on shore ... and thus begins a remarkable journey as she runs a gauntlet of tests and trials on her way toward an astonishing destiny. She soon falls in with a crew of medical-scientific renegades experimenting with a gene-editing technique that could potentially alter the appearance, mentality and behavior of human beings. And along the way she teams up with five other young people whose lives and love stories intertwine with her own as they struggle together to forge a Posthuman future. But can they prevail?

And if so, how, given the deadly forces arrayed against them?

From the depths of the ocean to the heights of genetic possibility, Intelligence Without Thumbs challenges our understanding of consciousness, identity, and what it means to be human. With stunning prose and a thought-provoking narrative, Michael Schulze invites readers to embark on a riveting journey into the future of our species.
