Song of the Swan II

The New Millennium will represent the dawn of a new era of promises for humanity, a new era of technological achievement that, in implacable form, will alter people's mental and social structures for the next thousand years. Of all the sciences, one in particular holds the most beautiful of hopes yet the most awful of Genetics.Could human curiosity be capable of taking control over its own destiny? Could man decide to play God? Maybe. Sometimes it appears as if only a superior alien intelligence would be able to end the curiosity of crazy men. Could a message that was sent 160,000 years earlier defeat all efforts to reveal its secrets? Maybe. But even a very advanced alien civilization would be unable to estimate human talent. Man is capable of deception, hunting, and waiting, if necessary many decades, in order to catch its prey. Man just doesn't know how to escape from himself, and maybe this is the ultimate alien weapon. Maybe.
