| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Volpla" by Wyman Guin is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story explores the consequences of genetic experimentation through the creation of a new species known as volplas—humanoid, gliding creatures that share distinct traits with both mammals and humans. The narrative encapsulates themes of human folly, the ethics of scientific discovery, and the unforeseen ramifications of playing god. In the story, the protagonist is a scientist who, driven by his ambition and a desire to create a new form of life, successfully develops these volplas in his lab. As he raises this new species, he envisions them living freely and independently, even fabricating an entire backstory of their heritage to add to his cosmic joke. Fantastical events unfold as the volplas, possessing extraordinary capabilities and a budding intelligence, interact with the human world. After a series of misunderstandings and revelations—including a tragic incident involving the protagonist’s son— the narrative culminates in the realization that the volplas have formed their own identities and communities, prompting a reflection on the responsibilities and moral implications of creation, and challenging the protagonist's initial whimsical intentions.
