In this novel by José Rodrigues dos Santos, a Chinese scientist announces the birth of two genetically modified babies and is then kidnapped. Tomás Noronha, contacted by a stranger from the American agency DARPA, becomes involved in a secret project inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. After an explosion and a deadly collision, Tomás witnesses the greatest event in human history: the Singularity, where the machine surpasses man.
