About this listen

Genesis Ascending is a gripping collection of character-driven science fiction short stories that explores the rise, triumph, and tragic fall of a utopian human civilization. At humanity’s technological peak, the global AI network BABEL helps unify society, promising paradise, but when a mysterious extraterrestrial signal arrives, temptation for forbidden knowledge leads to devastating consequences.

Each story unravels new layers of mystery, follows richly drawn characters, and challenges the boundary between ambition and hubris. Drawing on deep scientific ideas and imaginative alien encounters, the series traces humanity’s journey from planetary mastery to exile among the stars. Both thought-provoking and suspenseful, Genesis Ascending offers a unique vision of the perils and promise that come with reaching beyond our limits.
