The Bugs

In The Bugs, humanity’s fate rests in the tiny hands of the insects, who monitor not only the health of the planet but also the moral compass of its most influential inhabitants: humans. If mankind reaches a point of no return, the bugs will unleash a final solution—extermination. But don’t worry, they’ve got a backup plan. With mosquito-collected DNA, they’re ready to start fresh with a new batch of humans, hoping the next generation might do better.

 

A chilling look at the potential consequences of climate neglect, The Bugs explores themes of environmental collapse, collective responsibility, and survival, all seen through the eyes of our planet’s most overlooked creatures. Readers will be captivated by Friedman’s dark humor, inventive storytelling, and the eerie plausibility of the bugs’ last resort plan.
