Description: Joram Piatigorsky is a retired scientist, active writer, and avid Inuit art collector. He's also a tireless explorer of external worlds & internal thoughts.
Out Now! Science Fantasies, The Jellfish Have Eyes Trilogy Three protagnists share a familial bond, and unquenchable curiosity, which they use with unexpected results in their scientific careers. Ricardo, the patriarch , begins his journey exploring Jellyfish eyes, which leads him to hypothesize on the nature of evolution and the role of jellyfish in it. Unfortunately for Ricardo, scientific exploration not directly related to curing a disease is not just discouraged in 2047. It’s a crime.
His great-great-grandson, Roger, also is a government-funded scientist who chafes at the current restrictive nature of scientific exploration. Observing inexplicable personality changes in friends and neighbors leads Roger to hypothesize that abstract thoughts can be transmitted by infectious particles. Imagine that — thoughts have a physical presence! While the scientific community cooly greets the idea, it’s embraced by an unexpected quarter within society. And Roger’s just not sure how to feel about it!
Regina, Roger’s granddaughter , shares her ancestors’ quests for new frontiers, and yet understands that new perspectives aren’t always appreciated. Can Regina forge her own path in science, and redeem her family’s legacy? Can she discover the truth behind the events that put a sudden end to her beloved grandfather’s scientific career?
