Description

Tackling genetic engineering, "Di Filippo's effervescent prose can provoke both hilarity and haunting reflections on our species' possible fate" (Publishers Weekly). Ribofunk contains eleven masterful and surprising works of imagination. In all of them, biology is the science that drives the engine of life and of story: the Protein Police patrol for renegade gene‑splicers; part‑human sea creatures live in the Great Lakes and clean up toxic spills; a river has become sentient; there is a bodyguard who is part wolverine and a thrill‑seeker climbs a skyscraper and gets stuck, literally.
