“Doctor Who isn’t too far off the mark here, actually. Poiesis is something like what you’d get if Sam Peckinpah and Quentin Tarantino collaborated on an episode of that show with Douglas Adams acting as creative consultant.” (from the intro by Peter Watts).
The Symbiosis: A covenant of humans and modified bee-colony superorganisms who rebooted civilization on Ganymede after the Eco-Singularity.
The Endurance: An ecosystem star-sailship capable of icebreaking — converting into thought to navigate through the mind of the Universe — commanded by a bee colony leading a daredevil mixed crew.
In the 70-page pilot, the explorers board a monstrous ghostship. Expect: a multi-species sance, cyber-zombies, gory melee. The fallout from a haywire attempt at breaking one of the Epistemic Walls and forging a creative artificial mind. $0.99 on Kindle.
