Science FictionSynopsis
In the far future, three trillion genetically engineered 'Nebishes' live packed into a vast underground Hive, their aggression and curiosity bred away to ensure docility. A handful of unmodified five-toed humans called 'buckeyes' still roam the surface, and when they clash with the Hive's controlling computer intelligence, the fate of authentic humanity hangs in the balance.
