Yes, in the future you can look like Madonna or Elvis. But why would you step on a subway train with five Elvis' sitting around? How do people tell each other apart? And would you want to look like Elvis if thousands of people already do? These are some of the obvious questions this book overlooks. There's more. The picture of the future is interesting, but foolishly described. The flow of the book is sporadic and I get the feeling the author isn't well versed in biology or genetics to give compelling details of the books creations. I would suspect Junior High boys would love this story. Much of it made me think of storylines explored in the Ninja Turtles cartoons! Cowabunga, Mr. Young!

This is a highly enjoyable thriller about a future where extreme body modification - via genetic manipulation - is the latest fad, and what happens when a group of people begin to use it as a route to world domination. A few careless plot gaps and a craving for more keep me from giving the book a higher score, but it doesn't keep me from recommending it to anyone who finds the premise interesting.
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Very well written DNA-punk novel. Compelling plot with some good irony and socially interesting ideas. Just enough science to inform and lets your imagination fill in the gaps. Good charcter development that doesn't get in the way of the plot. I read it twice about a month apart and enjoyed it equally both times. Lots of good ideas to explore with your mind expand after the book is closed.
