Inspired by our modern day scientific experiments with gene modification and growing human organs on animals, Dayton delves into a possible future world that has become obsessed with human modification in a variety of troubling and complex scenarios. As the Bookish Actress' review points out, the true beauty of this book goes beyond an intriguing what-if scenario and asks who wields the power behind the what-if, who gets left behind, and why they do.

A well-written sci-fi book that weaves and explores a timeline influenced by one man held up like a diety.
