What if beauty could be programmed? What if perfection was only a download away?
Dr. Astrid Edwards never set out to change humanity. Tasked with leading clinical trials on a revolutionary gene-editing app, she watched volunteers erase flaws, cure conditions, and emerge euphoric. With a capsule and a swipe, nanobots rewrote DNA, promising a world without illness or imperfection.
But beneath the euphoria, something stirs. Changes run deeper than skin. Old instincts wake, and whispers of violence spread in the shadows.
Now she must confront the question no one dared to what happens when the code rewrites more than appearances?
Chilling, provocative, and hauntingly plausible, The Vanity Protocol is a cautionary tale of science, obsession, and the perilous line between evolution and extinction.
