The tale of the mad scientist predates Shelly's novel of "Frankenstein" by thousands of years. Since the dawn of the written word man has tried to alter his appearance, environment or internal makeup in a vain attempt to gain more power to substitute for something deeper he lacks such as self-esteem, popularity, intelligence, community-standing, etc. "The Intruder Bulletins" is a righteous voice of reason in a dumbed-down world of digital echoes and blatant propaganda as evident in the new ice-age nonsense of films like "The Day After Tomorrow."
Mark Antony Rossi, playwright and futurist science writer investigates the segments of society infected with the fever of advanced technological extremism. He touches upon a scientific community unable to cope with ethical ramifications of its creations due to conflicts of interest by patenting their works or owning stock in the commercial entities that finance their bizarre experimentation into human cloning, stem cell research, artificial wombs, male pregnancy, xenotransplantation, life-extension, organ theft, and a host of other dreaded procedures designed to serve a superficial society seeking to look better, feel younger, be smarter, run faster and reproduce at the drop of a credit card.
Yet the commercial application of these scientific breakthroughs threatens humanity's existence when considering the terrorist exploitations that could allow human clones to become the perfect assassins or use designer diseases to infect certain ethnic groups. The discovery of a gay gene might sound like a wonderful way to finally put to rest centuries of bigotry only to be used as a method to exterminate a group of people through gay gene fetal identification and gigantic worldwide spikes in the abortion rate.
Rossi to his credit does not permit this book to be merely a collection of speculative alarmist tracts but rather backs up his notions with hard data and a stimulating end chapter that outlines many positive steps average people can take (Senate Bill, S790, The Human Cloning Prohibition Bill) to safeguard their liberties from the marshalling storm that is morally-challenged commercial science. Read it and trust your instincts. Or trust the scientists and their monkeys---and take your chances.
