To what extremes would you go to return humankind to its full creative potential after generations of game-leveling genetic tampering? For the followers of a martyred genetic engineer named James Illion, the answer is obvious - all the way to the very edge of the death of civilization itself. Joshua 1011, the artificially created son of Illion, finds he is the carrier of a deadly and life-altering viral weapon.

Welcome to a world controlled by the great spirit and science Margas, a world that has crawled out of years of devastating viral plagues only to find that the immuno-nanotech sentinels meant to protect and enhance a whole generation of children are rising from within to become an even greater threat.

Joshua 1011 is the living masterpiece of a genius with a singular mission and vision - bring back the ancient genotypes that once were the backbone of creative life.
