Adam and eve Quote by Alastair Reynolds

“No idea should be discarded completely, but - as one might imagine - it does take a degree of ingenuity to find a new spin on something as hackneyed as the 'Adam and Eve' story. But if you think you've got the chops for it, there's no reason not to try.” quote by Alastair Reynolds
