Description

Darwin's Children by Greg Bear is a tense science thriller that explores the consequences of genetic enhancement. In a world where the SHEVA virus has created a new generation of human beings, the authorities seek to preserve 'humankind' at any cost. These genetically enhanced babies, known as 'virus children', possess remarkable traits and are locked up in special schools, quarantined from society. As they reach puberty, their existence takes on a new dimension, threatening the very notion of survival of the fittest. As Stella navigates this complex world, she finds herself drawn to another 'virus child', but the authorities are watching and waiting for their next move. This gripping story raises questions about what it means to be human in a rapidly changing world.
