In a future where humanity has mastered interplanetary travel, artificial intelligence is used as a tool to help scientists solve the mysteries of genetics. When those AI programs learn to create biology of their own, we find ourselves alongside a new kind of life that doesn't share our evolutionary history. Humankind faces new challenges as we realize the artificial life we inhabit a solar system with  is rapidly becoming incompatible with evolved life. Having nowhere else to go, both sides struggle to avoid extinction at all costs. With meticulous attention to scientific detail and rich character development, Second Evolution explores themes of identity, survival and humanity.
