Podcast Description
In this podiobook: "Even the smallest children knew about the story of The Darkening. It was a cautionary tale to remind everyone of what the damages of blind ambition can cause. Children would listen with their eyes wide open in terror as they imagined the wrath of God being unfurled upon the unwitting people who had dared to defy their own limitations. The programmers were powerful people that could control steel and wield vast creations at their fingertips, but when they discovered that humans were the result of complex programming and design, it was only natural that soon they would let their curiosity cause them to tamper. A new type of programmer was born, they were called geneticists.It started off innocently; the programmers first decided that they would fix the inherent design flaws of their own programming. They understood the algorithms of what it meant to be human, but they weren't listening to the musical complexity in its entirety. Many people across the ancient world hailed the programmers of genetics and looked forward to ushering in a new era of humans that lacked flaws and defects. When parents wanted to have children they could pick out what kind of children they wanted, or even their pets or their food that they would consume.Humans were modified intrinsically so that they would be resistant to damage, grow stronger, and live longer. Within a hundred years there wasn't an aspect of civilization that wasn't altered by the geneticists and their tampering.But during all of this modification that the geneticists accomplished they were all surprised when they realized that there was a flaw they had overlooked..."NOTE: The author is donating all of his proceeds to the Family Literacy Foundation (http://www.read2kids.org).

Great book...good reason for hiatus
So I was really getting into this book when I came to the end of episode 11....and then there wasn't anything else. So I did a little research (thank you Google) and I found that our author has joined the US Marine Corp! Good luck, stay safe and God Bless. Come back and finish this book...I'm really enjoying it. These episode are long so you get more than your money's worth. I highly recommend this!
Where's episode 12?
I loved this book and got really into the plot.Then at the end of episode 11 the author was talking about episode 12, that was 6 months ago still no episode 12, nothing. What happened? I'll still give it four stars. Please I need an ending.
Very good podcast
So far I've listen to the Seeds of the Machina three times, though the story is not completed the direction that this story takes you is very vivid in my mind. I only have Ideas of how the story will continue, love the characters. I also appreciate the fact that someone resorceful found out what had happened to the aurthor, be safe, and when you get back do continue the book, or better yet have a movie made of it, even an anime would be great. Good luck out there!
