FINANCIAL TIMES' BEST SCIENCE FICTION BOOKS OF 2024. In the hothouse of climate-collapse London, punk biohackers are hired by eco-terrorists to rob, murder, and save the world- and hopefully they can play some tight shows on the way. A near-future biopunk thriller, EXTREMOPHILE is the mutant lovechild of Neuromancer and The Water Knife, armed with an A to Z and a mixtape.

Qty:

Meet Charlie and Parker. Hard-thrashing punks by night, not-entirely-ethical biohackers by day.

Give them your DNA and they'll map the epigenetic topology of your genome to the grand procession of the stars. Zodiac Code: it's a good distraction from the end of the world, if you don't care whether it's true.

But nihilism can only get you so far. Especially when criminals and corporations are hacking humanity for notoriety, immortality and, most importantly, profit.

Charlie and Parker have just the right kind of reputation - and know just the wrong sort of people - to be offered a job that might save the world. Or, more likely, get them killed in the process.
