In an intimate portrayal of high-concept big ideas, can we engineer
ourselves out of a problem of our own making? Set against the
backdrop of rapidly escalating climate catastrophe, scientists Kate
Larkin and Jay Gunesekera are recruited by tech billionaire and
mogul Davis Hucken to the forests of Tasmania, Australia. His
Foundation's mission is not only to halt the effects of climate
change, but to re-engineer and reverse the damage through the
ambitious process of reviving species lost to the earth over time,
including a clandestine ambition to resurrect the Neanderthals.
When Eve, the first child, is born and grows up in a world
crumbling around her, questions arise that she and Kate must face.
Is she human or not, real or unnatural, and is she the ghost
species or are we? As more and more of us are waking up to the
truth about our climate, and our need to reverse the damage we have
caused, Ghost Species is timely, poignant and reflective on what it
means to be human on a personal and a global scale.
