In Adolphus’ eyes, the burden of humanity weighs heavily upon him. Despite centuries of progress and innovation, he perceives Homo Sapiens as a species entrenched in a cycle of greed and inefficiency.
A formidable titan of wealth and power, Baron Adolphus is fueled by a fervent yearning to rid the world of the flawed Homo Sapiens. He delves into the shadows of genetic manipulation and crafts a new breed - Homo Optimus - a superior race surpassing human potential.
As Logan and Riaan, operatives of the United Network Intelligence, unravel the mysterious and untimely demise of their director, they find themselves entrapped in the Baron’s grand design. To escape the clutches of his sinister plan, they must race against time to halt the progress of “Project Optimus” before it’s too late.
Sooryakant Indrabalan, Arvind Raghavan
Sooryakant and Arvind wrote Optimus over the course of three years. An idea which struck them while reading about CRISPR technology during the lockdown while they were still studying in 9th grade. Optimus was originally conceived as a movie script, which readers can discern from its format which retained the flow of a script, albeit with a unconventional blend of novel description. This is the first literary endeavor of these young authors, and they never imagined in the initial stages that their writing would see itself through to becoming a published book. The concept of Optimus has its roots in CRISPR and genome editing, but takes its own course as it delves deep into the applications and consequences of these technologies if it falls into the wrong hands.
