Book 1 of 1: Biopunk

Biopunk: Aristotle is a bold paperback work of queer speculative fiction that blends climate catastrophe, biological imagination, and a deeply personal journey of gender identity. Set in a world governed by rigid tradition, the novel follows a brilliant young thinker whose intellect and sense of self place her at odds with everything she has been taught.

Born into the Hewmen tribe, Aristotle is expected to conform to strict gender roles and inherited customs. Yet in her heart, she knows herself to be a woman, carrying a truth that must remain hidden in a society that allows no deviation. Her curiosity, insight, and restless questioning already set her apart; her identity makes her dangerous.

When a meteor detonates in the sky, tearing a rift through the clouds, the world itself begins to unravel. Temperatures plunge, ecosystems collapse, and the Hewmen homeland starts to die. What follows is a slow-motion environmental disaster, one that threatens not just the tribe’s survival but the fragile balance of life itself.

As climate chaos spreads, Aristotle discovers that restoring equilibrium will require more than tradition or brute survival. Drawing on ecology, innovation, and radical new ways of thinking, she embarks on a perilous journey through hostile wastelands and unfamiliar biologies. Along the way, she must confront both external dangers and the internal barriers shaped by years of enforced conformity.

In reimagining biological harmony, Aristotle also reclaims herself. Biopunk: Aristotle is a story of resilience, transformation, and the belief that survival depends on honoring both the living world and the truths we carry within our bodies.
