Probably the most interesting piece of work ever created… by a 6th grader.
Bio-Apocalypse by Stephen Sutton, is a genuinely intelligent, science-fiction short story with an interesting take on science vs. religion, the morality of god, and the ethics of scientific progress.
Synopsis (without being too spoilery): In the 23rd century, Earth based scientists have created a “super-organism”, that upon being released, fuses every living thing on Earth to its own being. The rest of humanity resides on the Moon, where society is dichotomized by an atheist/agnostic scientific community and religious zealots. Throughout the story, both factions actively compete and engage in conflicts over whose campaigns will finally rid of the organism.
Yes, there are pretty pictures for your viewing pleasure, it’s not just words.
