In the 2050's, genetic engineering makes it possible to pick and choose the traits and characteristics of one's offspring. Through genetic shaping, a couple can select the gender, hair and eye colors, intelligence and beauty of their child before the egg and sperm unite. Shaping permits the ability to choose the gene structure that will reduce aging effects, foster greater immunity to disease and hereditary conditions, and extend life. The new technology does have one side effect to alter the brain's hardware increasing the likelihood of violent psychotic behavior. This book explores that genetic consequence in fictional settings to amplify possible outcomes.
