The inspiration behind The Lost Creature
Writer's Note
The Lost Creature is my latest foray into speculative fiction, set in the near future, and stems from a deep contemplation of the ethical quandaries surrounding technological advancements. Inspired by the ever-evolving landscape of bioengineering and the prospect of de-extinction, I have grappled with whether humanity should wield the power to resurrect lost species, envisioning a world where technology blurs the line between creator and creation.
In this book, I navigate the uncharted territories of ethical dilemmas, exploring the consequences of playing god with nature. In The Lost Creature, readers will go on a thought-provoking journey that challenges preconceptions, delves into the intricacies of scientific progress, and raises poignant questions about the limits of human intervention in the delicate balance of the natural world.
