- Synopsis
- Something strange is happening to thirteen-year-olds in New York-and in Virginia, Florida, and Connecticut. The children are receiving odd messages announcing that the "pribir" are coming, but who the pribir are and why they're coming remains a mystery- until they actually arrive. Spanning a hundred years, Nothing Human moves dramatically through decades in which Earth decays faster than anyone thought possible. Global warming, biowarfare, climactic upheavals all take their deadly toll, until humanity faces a final decision: die out completely or genetically engineer our descendants...who may or may not be human. The last remnants of humanity cannot even agree on whether this should be done, let alone how. The final choice rests with one of the originally affected thirteen-year-olds, with the "pribir," and with the memory of those brave humans who have struggled so hard to preserve as much as possible of our shared heritage. But preserve it for whom...or what?
