have been possible with different opportunities and resources presented us.
This book is an experiment in speculative fiction. It‘s an attempt to get people thinking about the possibilities, the positives and the negatives human cloning will bring about in our daily lives. As an experiment, I found in some instances, the children being cloned made a big difference in my characters‘ social interactions. In other family dynamics, it had almost no impact at all. People are people after all.
Cloning adds another dimension to our social dynamics and family architectures, just as homosexual lifepartnerships, abortion, and genetic engineering change those dynamics. When this book is overcome by events, some of my predictions will come to light, others will be as foolish as riding a bullet to the moon or hearing voices of the dead in space. Only time will tell.
I look forward to finding out.
