Who are the Suduri?

Within the world of Rome's Revolution much is made about the Vuduri and the Vuduri culture. The Vuduri are very cold and suppress their emotions, even original thought. This is because the Overmind is always watching and there is no privacy of thought. They have no religion, no culture in the artistic sense and can be likened more to ants than to caring human beings.

We know humans have feelings. We see within Rome this clearly evident and even within Binoda. So there is a desire to experience the right brain but it is suppressed. Has it always been this way? Did the Vuduri go from caring, regular human beings to the cold and insensitive people we meet the moment they acquired the 24th chromosome?

The answer is no. The day after most of the people gained the 24th chromosome, they were pretty much the same as the day before. The Overmind sprung up overnight and when it was first "born" it had no real direction on how it wanted to rule. Most Vuduri allowed the Overmind to gain as much power as it wanted. Some did not. As the Overmind matured and became more invasive, a minority of people objected and wanted to suppress the Overmind altogether.

The populace became more and more polarized. There were the Vuduri who got along and the Suduri who did not. The Suduri were very spiritual, believed in God and Heaven and wanted to live a life enriched by culture and interpersonal relationships which made them enemies of the Overmind. Eventually, the Suduri decided to leave Earth altogether although nobody knows where they went. You may find out two novels from now, tentatively entitled The Last Journey.
