This novel is set in the near future, where human genome editing has become routine. First adopted to fight a lethal virus, it is now widely used to prevent diseases and favor other traits. Ben, Eiko, Celia, Raphael and Leo have just had their coming-of-age genome reading and are struggling with this new information for each their own reasons. Soon, they are cast into the middle of a crisis that threatens the future of their society and pits it against a parallel, but strictly separated, society where genome manipulation is forbidden on religious grounds.
The book includes an essay on the potential of human genome engineering and related genome-based choices.Pernille Rørth has led research labs at top institutions around the world, including European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and Carnegie Institution for Science, Dept. of Embryology, U.S.A., and has published numerous highly appreciated scientific papers in the fields of genetics and cell biology.
