[close] Techno-thrillers explore the ramifications of emerging technology, science, or natural phenomena in a story where your pulse races to thriller intensity at least briefly. The genre tends toward the relatively near-reaching possibilities of sci-fi, and usually includes enough technical detail/explanation to satisfy your inner geek. This is not your classic crime mystery novel. Not a galaxy far, far away. Not a fantasy. Nothing magical. Plausible physics on/near Earth in roughly the near present/future, roughly as we have known it for at least a good part of the book. It can be also be non-fiction, or yes, sometimes it can indeed be rather far-fetched.

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series (non-fiction books) by James Morcan & Lance Morcan as well as the Underground Knowledge podcast show.

[close] You've heard of Swine Flu. You've heard of bat flu. But then, a bat, infected with bat flu, was eating a grape, and it fell into a pen that held swine, one of which was infected with swine flu. The infected pig ate the grape, and contracted the bat flu. Then the pig was shipped to a slaughter house and was turned into food. Someone shook hands with the chef that had prepared the infected meat and then she came home, infecting everyone she came into contact with. Pretty soon an epidemic broke out. But now, a new disease, one even more deadly and more serious than the swine/bat flu virus.
