Have any of you guys read the "Moreau" series by S. Andrew Swann?
These books are "Forests of the Night", "Emperors of
Twilight", "Spectors of the Dawn", and "Fearful Symmetries: The
return of Nohar Rajasthan", and the soon-to-be-released (this month,
in fact) Moreau Omnibus, which combines the first 3 novels of the
series in one book. In these books, moreaus were developed by non-
american countries as infantry, and after all the wars were ended,
the vast majority of moreaus immigrated to America, only to occupy
the social position equal to that of negroes just after being
emancipated from slavery, and crammed into slums and other
neighborhoods deemed unfit for human inhabitation. Pretty bleak, huh?
Damn good books, though. I kinda figured these books would be
considered high on the reading list for furries, but so far, I'm the
only person whose ever heard of them that I know of. There's plenty
of inspirition for fanart, too. Anyway, should genetic tinkering
become available to actually become furries, I think this fate lies
in store, what with being first, deemed mentally unstable for wanting
to be anything other than human, and second, getting a whole new
dangerous set of natural weaponns and probably enhanced muscle fibers
and greater strength. You'd be either institutionalized or shoved
into the ghetto to keep "normal" people safe. As for actually
creating moreaus (sounds more mature than "furries", anyway) I think
there would be a lot of round-ups and mass-terminations. Humans
already believe they are the ultimate life form. In a world where
something so trivial as skin color matters so much, how badly do you
think you'd be treated for being a different species? Off the pink.
