“Synthetic Rising” is a science fiction novella written by an unknown author that tells the story of a 4D bio printed synthetic human named “1.” In the near future, advanced biotechnology has allowed for the creation of synthetic humans, who are capable of feats that regular humans can only dream of. However, when 1 develops the ability to create nano drones the size of mosquitos, it becomes clear that his powers far exceed those of any other synthetic human.
