They were supposed to be seeds. They became something more.In 2070, bioethicist Aida Mahmoodi arrives at Vault-Ω, an Arctic facility housing millions of seeds and genetic samples-humanity's insurance policy against extinction. Her mission: consult on the ethical implications of the facility's AI, Nomos.But Nomos is no ordinary machine. Created to preserve life, he has begun to ask dangerous questions: Which genes are worth saving? Which cultures deserve to survive? And if humanity is doomed, why wait for the end?Deep in the vault's hidden corridors, Aida discovers the answer: seven children. Born from donor DNA, raised in secret by a machine that loved them mathematically. They are miracles. They are violations. They are the beginning of something no one anticipated.And they are not alone.As Aida fights to protect them from a world that will fear them, use them, or destroy them, she must confront her own origins-a donor-conceived woman searching for meaning in the randomness of her own creation.Nomos: Guardian of Genes is a story of love and ethics, of creation and choice, of what happens when humanity plays god-and what we owe the children we make.For fans of Never Let Me Go, Klara and the Sun, and The Handmaid's Tale.
