When small bits of matter—“seeds” let’s call them—begin falling from the sky like pollen, drifting on the breeze and eventually planting themselves in the soil, it marks the beginning of the end of human supremacy on Earth.
As the seeds mutate and grow into something altogether new, financial markets plummet and society itself begins to unravel. What are these objects exactly? Eggs? Beachheads for an alien invasion? Or mere barnacles stuck to the hull of spaceship Earth that will eventually detach and float away on their own? No one knows for certain—but many suspect humanity itself could be under threat of extinction in the coming days.
Thus begins the first installment of the Occupy Earth Trilogy.
