Newton says, "Perpetual motion is impossible." Einstein says, "The speed of light is impassable." A Promethean says, "Challenge accepted."A serialized novel by Colin O'Boyle. The first five episodes can be found here: [1]The story follows the life of Jack Baling, an engineering professor whose life takes a drastic turn down a strange lane when one of his students brings in a working perpetual motion machine. Studying this impossible device pushes Jack beyond the boundary between genius and insanity. He emerges from the other side with a death ray (cobbled together with parts from the microwave and his wife's hair dryer), and goes on a rampage, stopping only when he encounters another mad scientist.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Because there are people out there that share his abilities, and even more frightening than the mad scientists are what they dream of. For them, nothing is ever truly impossible.

Artistic License – Biology: A type of insect that lives in paralyzing gel, a St. Bernard-sized praying mantis/shrimp-creature that walks on land and serves as the living machine for a hyperintelligent cuttlefish named “Gwendolyn,” and that’s just from the first two episodes.

Artificial Limbs: The character Jack mentally dubs “Bladerunner” is described as having blade-like prosthetic legs. Probably something similar to Oscar Pistorius’s. [2]

Ax-Crazy: When Jack gets his hands on a Disintegrator Ray capable of converting tables or people into a pile of dust, it doesn’t work out well.

Corrupt Corporate Executive: Peter Sharpe of the Prometheus Corporation describes the Prometheans as shepherds and humanity as sheep. Two guesses on how much value he assigns to the lives of people who aren’t “enlightened.”
