商品簡介
A cult novel in France, this sci-fi thriller is now being made into a movie byMathieu Kassovitz. Set in the hidden "flesh and chip" breeding grounds of the first cyborgcommunities and peopled by Serbian Mafiosi, Babylon Babies has as its hero a hard-boiled leatherneckveteran of Sarajevo named Thoorop who is hired by a mysterious source to escort a young woman namedMarie Zorn from Russia to Canada. A garden variety job, he figures. But when Thoorop is offered aneven higher fee by another organization, he realizes Marie is no ordinary girl. A schizophrenic andthe possible carrier of a new artificial virus, Marie is carrying a mutant embryo created by anAmerican cult that dreams of producing a genetically modified messiah, a dream that spells out theend of human life as we know it.Inspired by Philip K. Dick, William S. Burroughs, Gilles Deleuze,and other extrapolationists of the future, Babylon Babies unfolds at breakneck speed as Thooroprisks his life to save Marie, whose brain -- linking to the neuromatrix -- loses all limits andbecomes the universe itself. Exploring the symbiosis between organic matter and computer power tospin new forms of consciousness, Maurice Dantec rides Nietzsche's prophecy: "Man is something to beovercome."
