"Regenesis ... paints a peculiar image of the future: anything is possible thanks to biotechnology. Six-fingered guitar player geniuses juggle the strings, 3-eyed women quiver their eyelashes and geneticians grow tails (proving evolution theory right and christianity wrong) while four-armed prophets talk about the end of the world."--Cyberia

Last cybercast from Fox-Warner reporter Daniel Lundgren:

Lundgren [in a hallway bustling with suited men and women]: "This is Dan Lundgren, Fox-Warner NewsNet, in Paris. I'm at the World Health Organization Conference on Genetic Therapy, where doctors and scientists are expressing alarm at the latest fashion trend. A fashion trend? you might say. Medicine has nothing to do with style. Or, rather, had. A medical breakthrough has become just another fashion statement."

Cut to a young woman onstage, playing electric guitar in front of a thunderous retro-industrial band. Cut to Lundgren backstage with the woman: "We're speaking with Marie Durand, lead guitarist of Jackhammer. Marie, many people would say you're abusing genetic therapy. They believe you're desecrating a medical miracle for the sake of au couture."
