About the Author

Born in South Africa, Tessa Whellord travelled extensively to grapple with changes taking place in our world. Questions such as "do machines feel?" " will there ever be a concensus on the ethical handling of techniques such as cloning and genetic modification?" were largely inspired by films and literature as well as the amazing developments in the field of science we see taking place now. In keeping with the eastern philosophy that all matter is consciousness, she took the subsequent ideas a step further to illustrate that we humans are only a small part of an infinitely complex dance of particles. There is more to existence than we have dreamed!
