James Hoo lives in a dystopian future controlled by corporate needs and governmental regulations. He's been genetically engineered to be a brilliant researcher, all sponsored by the corporation that now owns him. But as he discovers how different he really is, he must find ways to hide these flaws from his sponsors or risk being terminated. His experiments are bearing unlikely fruit, but his are not the only experiments taking place.
A very enjoyable little novelette, and another free e-book well worth the time. I am a recent convert to science-fiction, and this ticked lots of the boxes regarding what the potential for us human-species maybe include if we continue making decisions in the same way.
There is a delightful twist to this story, one the reader realises must be coming, how-ever the final little end twist took me by surprise.
A delightful way to while-away time on a wet Saturday, along with that little consciousness raising reminder; not to take our humanity for granted. Would recommend it to anyone.
