Re: [DIYbio] Re: Biohacker Sci Fi Recommendations?

Hi all,

Some short story collections which fit into this topic:
- Ribofunk by Paul Di Filippo is an excellent short story collection 

- BioPunk edited by Ra Page is a short story anthology penned by different authors. The short stories were commissioned to be based on actual current research and authors were paired up with a scientist or ethicist that fact-checked the story and also provided a commentary. I found the stories of varying quality and relevance, but definitely an interesting concept.

Cheers,

Philipp

These are all amazing suggestions thank you Andrew, Nathan, Alexander, Gunther, Matthew, Andreas, Will and Paul. Sounds like there's some great hard biotech sci fi to read (and I need to educate myself on Para-humans) :)

OOO OOOO, thank you for mentioning parahumans. parahumans.wordpress.org is a serial novel called Worm.  It just concluded after a year and a half of constant updates (haven't seen the final tally, but the author may have broken 2 million words) 

there is a decent amount of biotech as superpowers/tinkers in labs in that one.  more hero fic, less sci fi, but an awesome read.

I'm planning to include some biohacking in the novel I'm writing for NaNoWriMo.  As in Parahuman characters hacking their own genomes.

Hi All,

Just wondering if there was any hardcore Biohacker sci fi that you've read and would recommend? I love most hard sci fi but I've been looking specifically for hard biohacker sci fi, any suggestions?
