Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

I found the following on amazon.co.uk:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1?ie=UTF8&text=Cody+D+Green&search-alias=books-uk&field-author=Cody+D+Green&sort=relevancerank

This looks very much like 'The future is wild', but more like fan fiction than something the copyright holders would produce themselves. Does anyone know anything about it?

Seems like a disappointing blatant rip-off. And the cover doesn't seem to be made with much effort.

That being said, a zoo for future animals would be the absolute shit.

To be honest, this has given me the idea for a novel/cheesy 90's movie that would be about some cops having to travel to millions of years into the future to stop poachers from capturing and selling future animals for parts and somehow causing a time paradox. Perhaps its tagline would be "To save the future of humanity, they must save the future of Nature".

The book titles are a somewhat poorly done. Also, unless the author got permission from the series' creators to use their concepts this way, then this is blatant plagiarism.

Both books are by the exact same author and have pretty much the exact same synopsis, so this looks to me like someone trying to make a quick buck.

Then again, if I were trying to make easy money via blatant copyright infringement, I'd probably want to pick something a little less niche than TFIW.
Dumb Quotes


Coming Soon/To be Rebooted:

How To Hunt Gods - Everything you need to know about Gods and the art of God-killing.

Intrazoology - The world of semi-corporeal lifeforms. A world you walk through every day, without even knowing it.

The Dungeonverse - Magical creatures forced to adapt in huge, underground caverns, while surface-dwelling humans go dungeoneering for treasure.

Crossover - A mish-mash of worlds, with Earth smack in the middle of the chaos. What could go wrong?

no worries
