Review Quotes

Genetic Memory of the Cazadores

Genetic Memory of the Cazadores is a truly visionary work of science fiction that, in the tradition of Arthur C. Clarke and Jules Verne, feels equal parts captivating narrative of the human condition and-- perhaps most excitingly-- an instructive guide to new horizons of invention and knowledge. Working from a premise of dramatic (but plausible) advancements in neurology, genetics, and epistemology, author J.W. Reed lays out a world in which the foundations of human advancement and consciousness have become accessible, allowing a perpetual-present of historical, epigenetic knowing to coalesce and function as a pragmatic aid to the modern condition. With this soteriological future as the starting point, Genetic Memory of the Cazadores leads the reader through the potentialities of this new paradigm, exploring the utopian dimensions of enlightenment as the ultimate teleology of science-- a refreshing shift from the current inundation of dystopian novels in the genre. Mr. Reed grounds the novel in a clear and compelling narrative, guiding audiences through the brilliantly crafted future through character and drama, rather than simply relying on the arresting originality of his prophetic and highly informed paradigmatic creations. While Genetic Memory of the Cazadores implements a substantial amount of the scientific lexicon, its use adds color and texture to the literary experience (while also educating the reader), a commendable feat achieved by Mr. Reed's dual genius of invention and dramatic prowess. Truly, this is a book both stunning novelisticaly and intellectually-- and I cannot recommend it more highly.
