What starts as stories of biologically destined loves begins to turn into some more thought provoking. Something darker.
And it gets darker still.
John Marrs’ reads like an episode of Black Mirror and with that comes both the hope and the destruction that new technology can have on a society. I finished the book not knowing if I wanted DNA Matches to be real or if the scenarios presented were enough of a deterrent. I’ll be thinking of this book and it’s message for a while.
