DESCRIPTION :

Starfish by Peter Watts is a gripping science fiction novel that plunges readers into the dark, claustrophobic depths of the Pacific Ocean. The story follows a group of genetically modified humans stationed at a deep-sea power plant on the ocean floor. These individuals, chosen for their psychological and physical resilience, are tasked with maintaining the plant, but their isolation and the extreme environment push them to their limits. Watts masterfully combines elements of hard science fiction and psychological thriller, exploring themes of human enhancement, survival, and the ethical boundaries of scientific experimentation.
