About this listen
A breathtaking novel from the author of Re-Engineering Humanity, one of The Guardian's Best Books of 2018.
The year is 2154. Kate Genet, a renowned geneticist, suddenly confronts the mysterious death of a bio-mod couple's newborn while visiting a maternity ward. The shock rattles her, awakening long forgotten memories and suppressed fears. Determined to figure out what actually happened, Kate is catapulted on a quixotic and dangerous adventure in a world where engineered harmony cannot eradicate basic human conflict.

"A toweringly good first novel, with echoes of Brave New World, but searingly relevant to our digital, genetically engineered age, and where it could well lead in this and the next century. Frischmann develops his female protagonist with a masterful hand, and invests his narrative with shocks and surprises in a world that slaps us in the face with its dangerous similarity to ours. Truly science fiction of the finest calibre, and highly recommended." (Paul Levinson, author of The Silk Code and The Plot to Save Socrates, and President of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (1998-2001))
"Brett Frischmann writes like a mad scientist, altering the code of life to elicit new thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. His novel is an experiment conducted on our brains and hearts, to condition us for the future." (Joshua Cohen, author of Book of Numbers)
