Acerca de esta escucha

The near future. Tens of thousands of species are going extinct every year. And a whole industry has sprung up around their extinctions, to help us preserve the remnants, or perhaps just assuage our guilt. For instance, the biobanks: secure archives of DNA samples, from which lost organisms might someday be resurrected . . . But then, one day, it's all gone. A mysterious cyber-attack hits every biobank simultaneously, wiping out the last traces of the perished species. Now we're never getting them back.

Karin Resaint and Mark Halyard are concerned with one species in particular: the venomous lumpsucker, a small, ugly bottom-feeder that happens to be the most intelligent fish on the planet. Resaint is an animal cognition scientist consumed with existential grief over what humans have done to nature. Halyard is an exec from the extinction industry, complicit in the mining operation that destroyed the lumpsucker's last-known habitat.

Across the dystopian landscapes of the 2030s—a nature reserve full of toxic waste, a floating city on the ocean, the hinterlands of a totalitarian state—Resaint and Halyard hunt for a surviving lumpsucker. And the further they go, the deeper they're drawn into the mystery of the attack on the biobanks. Who was really behind it? And why would anyone do such a thing?

Original take of implausible scenario

Interesting view on human impact on nature. Little sad and irrational but it’s human condition I guess. Good read!

Environmental dystopia

Ned Beauman’s Venomous Lumpsucker is a near future dystopian tale of environmental collapse along with misguided economic incentives to stem the species extinction that has the opposite effect. With extensive ongoing species extinction, various attempts to intervene or at least mitigate the im-pact have been implemented. There are biobanks that maintain samples and DNA sequences of various lifeforms in order to one day recreate the vanishing biological diversity. Against this backdrop, a duo is seeking to find a surviving venomous lumpsucker believed to be the most intelligent fish. At the same time, someone is sabotaging the biobanks for unknown reasons.

Beauman projects a dystopia where only economic and technological solutions are offered to impact species extinction where each have the paradoxical effects of merely aggravating the problem. At times, various scenarios are somewhat humorous, although this future world is decidedly unappealing.

The narration is good with decent character distinction. Pacing is moderate.

Cheeky Extinction Sci Fi

A fun cross sectional journey in the near future focusing on biology, industry, and personal beliefs. The characters are the focus, but the animals are never far away. Wonderfully done.

Stellar Naration

Too complicated. Too sad. Too much going on. I didn't care for it at all
