Greetings from our world of genes.
Swift, ferocious, and uncontrollable.
This is the world as it exists right now, not the one to come.
Does a loved one have any missing bodily parts? Will blondes become extinct? Is everyone in the same species at your dinner table? Are the similarities between an adult human and a chimpanzee fetus caused by the 400 genes that separate humans and chimpanzees? And ought it to concern us? Is the new genetic treatment for drug addiction worse than the illness?
Modern science has advanced to the point that it is feasible to test our spouses for genetic diseases, frame someone for a genetic crime, and sell our eggs and sperm for thousands of dollars online.
Nowadays, a person's whole genetic makeup may be attributed to another person, and a person with valuable genes in their chromosomes might make them the target of cross-national investigations.
Next is a deviously smart work of fiction and reality that spins a thrilling narrative of a new world where doors might open at any moment and nothing is as it appears. Next, it calls into question our morals and sense of reality. Upending our preconceptions and presenting startling new options unexpectedly, Next strikes a balance between the legitimately terrifying and upsetting and the humorous and strange.
You underestimate how near the future is. Adjust to it.
