When I was a kid home with chicken pox in bed trying to recover, did Santa actually come to my house while I was asleep and when he was going through the neighborhood on the fire truck, or did my parents just buy a candy cane and orange for me?

This is what AI thinks is a horror story based on my book - the exact opposite of what I hope will come from reading Where Biology Ends and Bias Begins:
Dr. Dasgupta's groundbreaking research revealed that the genetic markers everyone believed determined human worth were actually artifacts of contaminated lab equipment—but by then, the government had already implemented the sorting protocols based on her falsified data. As she watched the transport trucks roll through her neighborhood, she realized that her desperate attempt to prove human equality had instead provided the perfect scientific justification for humanity's final division.

This is a very tricky question to answer since I frequently read stories set in dystopian contexts or realistic but challenging environments. I read in part to understand how to navigate challenge at home, around the world, and in imagined futures.
