Steve Bancroft's New Book "Eden 2.0" is a Gripping Fantasy Weaving the Allure of Paradise with the Potential Horror of Genetic Manipulation for the Creation of Life
Recent release "Eden 2.0" from Page Publishing author Steve Bancroft is a provocative work of science fiction drawing the centuries-old debate about the artificial creation of life into the twenty-first century.
FRANKLIN, Mich., April 4, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Steve Bancroft, a retired Episcopal minister and former dean of the Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Detroit currently devoting his time to a number of small businesses near Franklin, Michigan, where he lives with his wife of forty-six years, has completed his book "Eden 2.0": a riveting work probing man's moral responsibility in the pursuit of scientific progress.
When Mary Wollstonecraft wrote her classic, "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus," in 1818, she raised questions about the advisability of humans trying to create life artificially. Two hundred years later, technological advancements in science have put us on the cusp of Shelley's fictional Gothic horror story becoming a nonfictional unknown. Yet Shelley's questions are no less valid today, probably even more pertinent.
"Eden 2.0" is a science-fiction story set in the present that echoes Shelley's questions. What does the efforts by humans to intercede at the foundational elements of life portend? What consequences may there be at seeking to apply human knowledge to mysterious circumstances?
Mary Shelley quoted from John Milton's "Paradise Lost" on her title page. It seems appropriate to restate it here:
"Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay
To mold me man? Did I solicit thee
From darkness to promote me?"
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Steve Bancroft's book is a thought-provoking work of science fiction drawing the foundational questions on mankind's place in the creation of life raised by Mary Shelley into the twenty-first century and beyond.
Readers who wish to experience this engrossing work can purchase "Eden 2.0" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
