Fluffy's Revolution

De: Ted Myers

Narrado por: Rob Hegner

“Brisk sci-fi futurism with a feline star and a positive outlook.” (Kirkus Reviews)

The fate of the world rests on the haunches of one small cat.

It’s 2135. Fluffy is a super-intelligent GAB (Genetically Altered Brain) cat. Like many dogs, cats, mice, and the occasional pig, her brain is the product of genetic tinkering by humans that started more than a century ago.

With their powers of telekinesis, the animals can manipulate physical objects without being able to grasp them. They can speak to each other telepathically without audible voices. Now, people have begun to fear them and to systematically capture and exterminate them.

Fluffy leaves the safety of her home to look for her lost brother and joins a band of animal revolutionaries. After a series of brushes with death, Fluffy and her friends find a secret university for GAB animals. There, they work with enlightened humans to save Earth from certain destruction.

"Humans are scum, Fluffy."

The concept of a future (2135) where many domestic animals, notably dogs, cats, nice and pigs, have been genetically altered to enable them to communicate telepathically with each other and humans as well as developing the power of telekinesis sounded bizarre and intriguing so I started this book with great expectations. Unfortunately, it was, to me, more a Lady and the Tramp story rather than an approachable science fiction tale, with the main character, Fluffy, leaves her 'Dad' at home to search for the brother, Jack, left behind when she was selected. The world is not an hospitable one for her, people fearing these genetically altered animals and trying to destroy them. Yes, it would make a decent cartoon, I guess, but seemed far too contrived to make an enjoyable (adult) read despite the good narration by Rob Hegner.
