Part 1: The wall -- The day of the readings -- Transit interviews -- The truth will set you free -- Part 2: Home -- Unrest -- The witch -- Business acumen -- Father Marius -- Peas and politics -- Part 3: Return -- Safe haven -- Summer rain -- Part 4: Scientific Appendix. Manipulating the Human Genome: Technology and Choice.

This novel is set in the near future, where human genome editing has become routine. First adopted to fight a lethal virus, it is now widely used to prevent diseases and favor other traits. Ben, Eiko, Celia, Raphael and Leo have just had their coming-of-age genome reading and are struggling with this new information for each their own reasons. Soon, they are cast into the middle of a crisis that threatens the future of their society and pits it against a parallel, but strictly separated, society where genome manipulation is forbidden on religious grounds. The book includes an essay on the potential of human genome engineering and related genome-based choices.
