A cult book in France, this sci-fi thriller is currently being made into a movie by Mathieu Kassovitz. Set in the concealed "flesh and chip" breeding grounds of the first cyborg communities and peopled by Serbian Mafiosi, Babylon Newborns has as its hero a hard-boiled leatherneck veteran of Sarajevo named Thoorop who is hired with a incomprehensible source to escort a young woman named Marie Zorn from Russia to Canada. A garden variety job, he characters. But when Thoorop is offered an even higher cost by another company, he realizes Marie is not a ordinary female. A schizophrenic and the possible carrier of a fresh artificial computer virus, Marie is hauling a mutant embryo created by an American cult that dreams of producing a genetically customized messiah, a desire that spells out the finish of individual life as we know it.Inspired by Philip K. Dick, William S. Burroughs, Gilles Deleuze, and other extrapolationists of the future, Babylon Newborns unfolds at breakneck swiftness as Thoorop risks his life to save Marie, whose brain -- linking to the neuromatrix -- manages to lose all boundaries and becomes the world itself. Checking out the symbiosis between organic and natural matter and computer capacity to spin new kinds of awareness, Maurice Dantec trips Nietzsche's prophecy: "Man is something to be defeat."
