"Genesis" is a collection of science fiction short stories, and it is my first book.

The stories in the book are unrelated to each other, written in different styles and take place in different settings. So it is a science fiction box of chocolates...

The common theme however is the exploration of social, political or philosophical ideas through the lens of advanced technology. Each story represents an idea or notion expressed and explored in the form of a science fiction short story.

The book is currently undergoing translation to English. Some of the stories in the collection will be published here on the website as well, as a way of giving the readers a taste of what's inside.

The stories in the book are:

• "Evolution" – Dr. Ronit Keren storms into Professor Lang's office in protest of their evolution-planning AI, Gaia, insisting on biospheric evolution models that are based on pain and suffering.
