Logan Ramsay is genetically modified without his knowledge or consent, becoming a super strong, intelligent, upgraded human. He and his (also upgraded) sister fight over conflicting views of how to save humanity from self-imposed extinction.
Fast-paced thriller about the benefits and perils of genetically modifying humans. What aspects of our nature are worth upgrading and at what cost?
Lots of lists of gene names!
Fave quote:
"We don't have an intelligence problem. We have a compassion problem. That, more than any other single factor, is what's driving us toward extinction."
