Science Fiction or Credible Genetic Risk: Cornelia Alexander Releases 'The Foreseeable Future'

Whether it's futuristic fiction or scientific fact, Cornelia Alexander's novella, The Foreseeable Future: A World Exclusively Female, is sure to make readers think.

Northfield, OH (PRWEB) November 12, 2006 -- In Cornelia Alexander's first novella, The Foreseeable Future: A World Exclusively Female, readers are introduced to an unparalleled and highly imaginative international crisis, caused by a series of poor decisions by world leaders.

In Alexander's futuristic world, only females exist. World leaders supported the development of a secret drug that was to stem the rise of youth aggression and global violence, but unknowingly rendered women incapable of producing male offspring. Horrified by the implications of such a dangerous interference in the orderly evolution of mankind, one genetic engineer desperately seeks to find a solution. However, her sudden death leaves responsibility in the hands of her daughter, who struggles to not only expose the evil plan, but also bring to light her mother's scientifically based resolution.

Considering the advances in stem cell research and the world's increased acceptance of laboratory experiments that alter the very essence of the genetic chain, this novella might be read less as a work of futuristic science fiction than a chilling account of a scheme that becomes increasingly plausible, and increasingly nefarious. Alexander adds to the tension by creating a story narrated by a young girl who, with unsettling logic, and a voice driven by curiosity, anger and fear, discovers the truth about her mother's work…and her mother's death.
