ABOUT THE BOOK
A mysterious new variant of Covid-19, dubbed the Singapore Strain, is infecting people around the world. It changes the victims’ DNA and manifests itself by altering perceptions and attitudes to make them environmental activists and turns them into Dynaborgs. A motley team of investigators from America, Australia, Botswana, Britain, Estonia, India, Singapore & Sweden are trying to unravel its secrets even as they turn Dynaborgs themselves. Is it as benign as it appears? What are its origins? Does it have the potential to wipe us out?
