Warning, this question is very random. However, it necessary for you to answer and for your answer to be as detailed as humanly possible.

If you had to recreate a novel that you had read and remembered, but couldn't use it as a reference, would you either....
Rewrite it by hand, using your memory
OR
Recreate the characters of the novel using genetic engineering, let them live their life exactly as they would in the novel, and spell them so that their every action is written down without you ever touching a pen?
WHY?
Side note if you choose option two: You have no emotional connection to the characters of the novel. They are only a biological experiment.
Side note: It is possible that the lives of these characters may be interrupted by an outside force, thus making your work null and void
Side note: You must recreate this novel if you ever want to see your friends and family again.

Second question:
If I made you choose option 2, what would be your reasoning??

Third question:
Do you have any other possible ideas to recreate the novel? What would be your motivation for it?

Thanks!
